Church Times - Art review: Richard Kenton Webb, Benjamin Rhodes Arts, Shoreditch

My latest exhibition review for Church Times is on Richard Kenton Webb Vol.5 at Benjamin Rhodes Arts:

'The exhibition has also provided an opportunity for Kenton Webb and The Revd Richard Davey to continue their ongoing discussions of “colour, landscapes, language, narratives, faith and the human figure” in the context of Kenton Webb’s work. Davey says in the catalogue that what the drawings included here show him is what Kenton Webb’s work has always shown him, “a love song to the other.” This prompts the response that “one of the profoundest things an artist can do is to paint their Holy of Holies, and for me that is Love”; “an invisible presence and yet a force that has substance, just like light and colour.”'

For more on this exhibition see my Artlyst diary for April here.
