Artlyst - The Art Diary August 2024

My August art diary for Artlyst highlights a range of shows which engage with art as a form of storytelling by revealing hidden histories and telling lost stories. These include Tavares Strachan at Hayward Gallery, Lonnie Holley at Camden Art Centre, Elias Sime at Hastings Contemporary, ‘The Valleys’ at National Museum Cardiff and ‘Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look’ at the National Gallery:

'John Harvey has written extensively on the work of [Nicholas] Evans, who was a former miner and a Pentecostal lay preacher for the Apostolic Church in Wales: “He started to paint in retirement, and in the course of fifteen years produced a considerable body of paintings, the majority of which are predominantly black, square, and made using fingers, rags, and sponges … His paintings … perpetuate the visionary tradition insofar as the artist believes them to be divinely inspired, mediated in the form of a vision which he realizes in paint … Evans’s paintings are [a] manifestation of the religion of Nonconformity.”'
