'THE exhibition “Sanctuary” tells a story as it unfolds through paintings and sculptures surrounding the nave of Portsmouth Cathedral. The story that it tells is one that equates the flight into Egypt — which, in the Coptic Orthodox Church’s tradition, involved travel by boat along the Nile — with the experience of contemporary refugees: Mynheer notes that 117 million people in the past ten years have been refugees or internally displaced.'
Other of my reviews and articles relating to migration can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Mynheer is part of a group of artists who create in the tradition of British visionary art, for more on this group see here.
