Artlyst - Christmas: The Art Of Faith December 2022 Diary

My December diary for Artlyst includes mention of Fruits of the Spirit, Theaster Gates, Anselm Keifer, Forrest Bess, and Tom Phillips:

'There was a time when Nativity exhibitions routinely featured among the Christmas offerings from London Galleries. Those days are no more but as galleries and curators now acknowledge the extent to which many artists engage with questions of faith and spirituality, it is not hard to find exhibitions exploring such questions at this time of year ...

[The Forrest Bess] exhibition marks the first time his works have been presented together in this way and continues the long and respected history of the Camden Art Centre in platforming exhibitions of significant 20th century artists who have been overlooked in the UK, while also engaging with themes of spirituality. This approach is motivated by an awareness that such artists offer a particular, timely and relevant source of inspiration to contemporary artists and their practices, as well as speaking to urgent issues and ideas of our time.'
