Artlyst: The Art Diary April 2026

Here's my April Art Diary for Artlyst:

The April 2026 Art Diary examines several exhibitions related to spirituality. Kettle’s Yard recently commissioned an essay exploring their collection through the lens of spirituality, while an exhibition at ICA LA is currently examining art as a conduit to the spiritual. Performances and exhibitions involving Maurizio Cattelan, El Greco, William Blake, Henri Matisse and Lillian Delevoryas, among others, explore related themes.

Exhibitions by Mirna Bamieh and Theaster Gates engage with themes of discrimination, while several other exhibitions and a sculpture unveiling explore aspects of our relationship with our environment. These include ‘Gainsborough, Turner and Constable’, a Constable 250 exhibition at Gainsborough’s House that explores the emergence of landscape painting in Britain, led by three of its greatest exponents.

Artlyst: May Art Diary

My May Art Diary for Artlyst has been published today:

"Three artists I have interviewed are opening new exhibitions this month – Márta Jakobovits, Genesis Tramaine and Helaine Blumenfeld. For the May Art Diary, I also include three exhibitions involving gardens – at Gainsborough’s House, Philip Mould and Company, and Waddesdon Manor. I also highlight exhibitions featuring aspects of the mystical or mythological. This includes a group show, ‘Finding My Blue Sky’ at Lisson Gallery. Finally, two exhibitions in church or former church spaces include Martin Creed at Camden Arts Projects and Max Blake at St Andrew's Wickford."

For more on Márta Jakobovits see here and here, Genesis Tramaine see here and here, and Helaine Blumenfeld see here, here, here and here. For information about Max Blake's exhibition at St Andrew's Wickford see here.

Artlyst: Cedric Morris And Arthur Lett-Haines Gainsborough House

My latest exhibition review for Artlyst is on Revealing Nature: The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines at Gainsborough's House:

'‘Revealing Nature: The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines’ extends our appreciation of Morris and Lett considerably by foregrounding Lett’s work alongside that of the better-known Morris and by the range of Morris’ work shown. In doing so, our understanding of what drew so many artists to Benton End to be part of the East Anglian School of Art and Design is also enhanced.

Suffolk, more generally, provides additional opportunities to sample the work of artists linked to Benton End. I took the opportunity to visit several churches containing work by Rosemary Rutherford. Rutherford attended the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing, where she focused on flower paintings and landscapes. Although an excellent painter of religious scenes in addition to landscapes and flowers, she is best known for her stained-glass windows, striking examples of which can be found within reach of Sudbury at St Mary Boxford, St Mary the Virgin Walsham-le-Willows, and St Mary Hinderclay. The Memorial Window at Walsham-le-Williams has St Catherine surrounded by a vibrant array of flora and fauna, as Lett-Haines also sought to do in his work. In the same church is a marvellous depiction of Christ walking on the water among several impressionistically rendered Thames barges. As with some of Morris’s images, the lifting of darkness in this image could be a response to changes in their wartime experiences.'
