Artlyst: The Art Diary May 2026

My May Art Diary for Artlyst begins by highlighting two of the Pavilions at the 61st International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. These look to the past for contemporary inspiration, combined with reflection on contemporary issues. The latest exhibition by Richard Kenton Webb at Benjamin Rhodes Arts has a similar inspiration. Exhibitions of work by Hilma af Klint and Helaine Blumenfeld highlight the spirituality of abstract art. Contemporary issues are further explored through exhibitions by Barnaby Barford, Michael Petry, Michael Armitage, and Godfried Donkor, while exhibitions by Paula Rego and Olivia Plender examine the experiences of women. Finally, an exhibition and book explore responses to AIDS/HIV. Finally, ‘Comrades in Art: Artists Against Fascism’ at the Towner Eastbourne focuses on the Artists International Alliance.
