Artlyst: The Sun and The Moon Saatchi Gallery A Sublime Experience

My latest exhibition review for Artlyst is on ‘The Sun and The Moon: Art Inspired by the Celestial’ at Saatchi Gallery:

"With artefacts relating to ancient mythologies and early cosmologies progressing through to works of contemporary art and popular culture, the exhibition explores the profound influence these celestial bodies continue to have on human imagination. As such, the show brings together contemporary artworks, rare objects, and large-scale immersive installations across nine gallery spaces on two floors, with a huge number of artists’ works included.

With such a wide range of artists and media, there is no way of categorising the diversity of work other than by content. Therefore, the exhibition unfolds as a journey through a complete 24-hour cycle, moving from dawn through daylight, into the depths of the night. Each chapter of this sequence – Dawn, The Sun Rising, Zenith, Setting Sun, Evening, Midnight and Darkest Hours – features a large central work surrounded by a selection of paintings, sculpture, fashion items, textiles, photographs, films and/or installations."
