Derrick Greaves. White Ground and Other Recent Paintings 24 July - 30 August 2008
Greaves's new white ground paintings are some of the most pared down images he has ever produced. Refined, abstracted images consisting of elegant coloured lines set against the clean white of the primed canvas ground, these paintings display the artist’s characteristic wit, whilst being some of his most formally extreme pictures.

Childish Things. Michael Andrews, Georg Baselitz, Brassai, Lewis Chamberlain, Andre Kertesz, Henry Moore, Paula Rego, Edward Weston
24 July - 30 August 2008
Childish Things takes this theme of the adult’s awareness of childhood as its starting point to explore different artist’s attitudes to the subject. It includes images of a mother and child, children’s dolls and toys and children at play and contrast images of innocence with something more disturbing undercurrents.

The Violence of Sensation.
Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Tony Bevan, David Hockney, R.B.Kitaj, Hughie O’Donoghue
5 September - 4 October 2008
To coincide with Tate Britain’s major Francis Bacon retrospective, James Hyman Gallery presents an exhibition of some of the most powerful figurative artists of our time to explore the impact of the greatest British painter of the twentieth century.

Francis Bacon. Prints 5 September - 4 October 2008

Sun Liang. A Painter's Journey
First retrospective in the West for one of China’s most important painters from the Generation of 1985. Sun Liang was one of the first Chinese artists to engage with international contemporary art and to exhibit at the Venice Biennale. In association with Contrasts Gallery, China.
