Church Times - Art review: Portia Zvavahera: Zvakazarurwa (Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge)

My latest exhibition review for Church Times which is on Portia Zvavahera: Zvakazarurwa at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge:

'THE paintings in the exhibition “Portia Zvavahera: Zvakazarurwa”, at Kettle’s Yard, in Cambridge, are about the power of prayer. While it has become possible more recently in the mainstream art world to make a case for the level of attention involved in creating or viewing art as equating to the experience of contemplative prayer, it is very unusual to find prayer as the subject of contemporary art or for series of paintings to reveal how prayer changes the lives of those who pray. Nevertheless, that is what these paintings do.'
