Artlyst: The Art Diary February 2024

My February Art Diary for Artlyst looks at the Pre-Raphaelites, the works of Alison Lapper, Monia Sjöö and various group exhibitions, including shows at Cross Lane Projects, Drawing Room and The William Morris Gallery:

"‘Landscapes of the Gods’ at Cross Lane Projects brings together the work of nine artists to explore an interconnection with the landscape, the ceremonial, the mythical, the man-made, the dystopian, the inhabited and the emotive. The idea of the exhibition, curated by painter Rebecca Scott, initially developed from a conversation with the artist Michael Petry, in which they discussed Petry’s ongoing visual investigation into the places of the Gods and Scott’s own emotive exploration of the Cumbrian landscape, which surrounds her. Through his paintings, Michael Petry celebrates the ceremonial, memorialises the mythical, and acknowledges, honours, and explores the deeper spirits within us whom we all feel and hear yet have found hard to name. For Petry, our belief (or disbelief) in the Gods is of no importance to them, for we are mortal, whereas they are divine."
