Where is painting now today? By which question of course, we mean not to search for a locale, but for a purpose or direction. The Stuckists are still banging the drum for figurativity and now even YBA cow-slicer Damien Hirst has got in on this painting lark with his show at the Wallace Collection.

So is painting back, and if so in what form? Well back in July, Standpoint showed work that it described as 'emergent figuration', something that has been bubbling around for a while now (see Nadine Feinson as our favourite example of an artist doing something similar).

Now Camberwell Space is playing host to La Peinture Est Presque Abstraite, an exhibition involving four French and four British artists. The works on show do a kind of abstracted 'positive feedback' version of representation - perhaps this is where painting is now?

Until 23.12.09.
