Artlyst: The Art Diary February 2024

My February Art Diary for Artlyst looks at the Pre-Raphaelites, the works of Alison Lapper, Monia Sjöö and various group exhibitions, including shows at Cross Lane Projects, Drawing Room and The William Morris Gallery:

"‘Landscapes of the Gods’ at Cross Lane Projects brings together the work of nine artists to explore an interconnection with the landscape, the ceremonial, the mythical, the man-made, the dystopian, the inhabited and the emotive. The idea of the exhibition, curated by painter Rebecca Scott, initially developed from a conversation with the artist Michael Petry, in which they discussed Petry’s ongoing visual investigation into the places of the Gods and Scott’s own emotive exploration of the Cumbrian landscape, which surrounds her. Through his paintings, Michael Petry celebrates the ceremonial, memorialises the mythical, and acknowledges, honours, and explores the deeper spirits within us whom we all feel and hear yet have found hard to name. For Petry, our belief (or disbelief) in the Gods is of no importance to them, for we are mortal, whereas they are divine."

Artlyst - The Art Diary September 2023

My September Art Diary for Artlyst includes The Sainsbury Centre, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Cross Lane Projects, Strawberry Hill House & Garden, Chelmsford Museum and England & Co.:

'The Art world’s current focus on big issues as part of its curatorial practice continues, in particular with exhibitions exploring, as has ‘Dear Earth’ at Hayward Gallery, themes of care, hope, and emotional and spiritual connection with our environment.

This month, the Sainsbury Centre launches the first of its new ‘Big Question’ seasons exploring the theme of ‘Planet for our Future: How do we adapt to a Transforming World?’ The Sainsbury Centre is setting the exploration of big issues at the heart of its exhibition programming, seeking to empower art to address fundamental societal challenges. Their approach understands art as alive and capable of engaging people with the fundamental questions of life. They will see artworks from all over the world travelling to the Centre to pose urgent, global questions to visitors and help them find the answers. Future Seasons will ask: What is truth? (Spring 2024), Why do people take drugs? (Autumn 2024); How do we resuscitate a dying sea? (Spring 2025), Can humans stop killing each other? (Autumn 2025); and What is the meaning of life? (Spring 2026).'
