Artlyst - Critics’ Choice: Best UK Art Exhibitions 2025

Artlyst recently asked their critics, including myself, to choose three standout UK exhibitions. The results have been published today in an article entitled 'Critics’ Choice: Best UK Art Exhibitions 2025':

Paul Carter Robinson, Artlyst Editor, writes: 'Looking back at 2025, the standout UK Art Exhibitions show that there wasn’t a single aesthetic or tidy narrative linking everything together.

This selection wasn’t created to reward an institution’s agenda. The strongest shows didn’t need to follow a curator’s perspective. They held their ground on the work displayed. They allowed complexity to surface slowly, sometimes awkwardly, without apology.' 

My reviews of the three exhibitions I chose can be found here, here, and here.

Church Times - Art review: Anthony Lawrence (1951-2022): A Retrospective (Palais des Vaches, Lower Exbury)

My latest exhibition review for Church Times is on Anthony Lawrence (1951-2022): A Retrospective at Palais des Vaches, Lower Exbury:

'Lawrence’s life’s work was painting, of which this large and varied retrospective is simply a glinting drop in a wider ocean. While constantly evolving through styles and series as a great “knowing” Post-Modernist, Lawrence sought, through his blend of tradition and invention, history and innovation, to hint at how reconciliation might be found in the great contest of social humanity. But, as Morsberger notes, what is supremely important in his work are the wonderful questions that he asks, questions that generated much comment when these images were first shown and that retain that capacity for all who will journey to the Palais des Vache to journey with the artist through Dante’s dark wood and do so under cataclysmic skies.'

Other of my pieces for Church Times can be found here. My writing for ArtWay can be found here. My pieces for Artlyst are here, those for Seen & Unseen are here, and those for Art+Christianity are here.
