Artlyst: The Art Diary February 2025

For my February Art Diary for Artlyst I begin with exhibitions by artists I’ve followed and whose work I’ve written about. These include Peter Howson, Jonathan Anderson, Barbara Hepworth and Theaster Gates. Then, I highlight the fascinating work and career of Steve Whittle, who is currently exhibiting in my parish in Essex. Following that is the mention of exhibitions catching my attention for the themes they explore, from experimental poetry to conversation and protest, environmental concerns, and nature. I end by highlighting essays and interviews I’ve undertaken recently covering artists such as Damien Hirst, Steve Whittle and Alastair Gordon:

"Buildings are among the many works that Gates has created and they also feature significantly in ‘In/Dwellings’ by Jonathan Anderson, an exhibition at the Dal Schindell Gallery. Anderson is the Eugene and Jan Peterson Associate Professor of Theology and the Arts at Regent College, Vancouver. I interviewed him for Artlyst in 2018 on the religious inspirations behind modernism. The interview was in relation to his co-authored book ‘Modern Art and the Life of a Culture’. His latest book, ‘The Invisibility of Religion in Contemporary Art’, is due to be published by the University of Notre Dame Press in March–April 2025."
