Artlyst: May Art Diary

My May Art Diary for Artlyst includes exhibitions exploring new towns, migration, literature, reflections, and martyrs at galleries including Gibberd Gallery, Ben Uri, Tang, Maureen Paley, Kristin Hjellegjerde and Ikon. There are also solo shows by Matthew Krishanu, Alastair Gordon, Yvonne Maiden and Peter Rodolfo, and church-based exhibitions at Emmanuel Church, Eastbourne, St Martin-in-the-Fields, and Ely Cathedral:

'The Methodist Modern Art Collection is one of Britain’s most important collections of modern religious art, comprising over fifty paintings, prints, drawings, reliefs and mosaics. The Collection includes famous names from the British art world of the last 100 years (Graham Sutherland, Edward Burra, Patrick Heron, Elisabeth Frink) alongside more contemporary artists. Started by a Methodist layman and art collector, who along with a Methodist minister, wanted Methodists to have an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art and what it could bring to illustrate the Christian story, the collection has steadily grown since then and has visited many towns and cities giving people of all denominations an opportunity to see this for themselves.

Following the recent opening of its new church building, Emmanuel Church, Eastbourne is hosting an exhibition, ‘New Vision,’ which features 35 pieces from this collection.'
