Artlyst: The Art Diary February 2026

For the February 2026 Art Diary for Artlyst begins with the contrasts of light (Lakwena Maciver) and dark (Tracey Emin), before highlighting exhibitions at the National Gallery, Auckland Castle, St Andrew’s Wickford, St Peter’s Nottingham, and Elizabeth Xi Bauer that explore these themes in relation to spirituality. A further series of exhibitions featuring the Quilters of Gee’s Bend, Titus Kaphar, and Yinka Shonibare explores aspects of black culture and heritage. Exhibitions at Studio Voltaire, Wimbledon Museum, Dorchester Museum & Art Gallery and Chappel Galleries examine the poetics of everyday actions, while exhibitions featuring work by Sean Scully, Leiko Ikemura, Yona Verwer, Brian Whelan, and Hady Boraey explore the relationship between human beings and the natural world.

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.'
