Church Times - Art review: Breaking Lines at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London

My latest exhibition review for Church Times is on Breaking Lines at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art:

'Houédard wrote that “concrete fractures linguistics, atomises words into incoherence, constricting language to jewel-like semantic areas where poet & reader meet in maximum communication with minimum words”. This aim of his work was synonymous with his theological emphasis on becoming. In a sermon, he taught that “all we who live & grow & are conscious can say is ‘I become, I change, I grow.’”'

For more on Dom Sylvester Houédard see here and here.

Artlyst: Li Yuan-chia And Friends Kettles Yard Cambridge

My latest exhibition review for Artlyst is on ‘Making New Worlds: Li Yuan-chia & Friends’ at Kettles Yard, Cambridge:

'The boundary-defying artistic practice of Li Yuan-chia, particularly through his LYC Museum and Art Gallery, turns aspects of modern art history on its head...

Li’s initiative linked the earlier avant-garde represented primarily by Winifred Nicholson, who was part of the ‘7 & 5’ Society, with the then-current avant-garde including Takis, Liliane Lijn, and dsh (Dom Sylvester Houédard) and on then to emerging artists such Lygia Clark, Andy Goldsworthy, David Nash and Mira Schendel.'

Artlyst: Cosmic Patches And Quilts - Five Exhibitions

My latest piece for Artlyst covers five exhibitions, all of which tap into aspects of spirituality and relate in some fashion to perceptions of heaven:

'The continuity of relationship expressed in the handing on of tradition and design at Gee’s Bend is also the focus of Emefiele’s paintings responding to the loss of her sister. Hers are paintings which suggest that although her sister may have left this earthly life as a physical presence, she remains even if no longer in a tangible form. Continuity of relationship is what Morgan reveals in paintings depicting her marriage to Christ that eternally fuse the human and divine. While for Pousette-Dart and dsh there is a cosmic patterning of which we are part and which sweeps us up in an eternal dance.'
