Artlyst: The Art Diary April 2025

My April Art Diary for Artlyst has been published today:

"Easter regularly brings exhibitions exploring themes drawn from Christianity; this year is no exception. For the April 2025 Diary, I highlight exhibitions that include work from Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone, Francis Hoyland, Nic Fiddian-Green, Gert Swart, and Stanley Spencer. I also highlight exhibitions exploring aspects of mythology that feature work by Tunga, Sidney Nolan and Anselm Keifer, and exhibitions on social action including the latest Human Atlas exhibition by Marcus Lyon and a fundraiser for War Child. I finish up with two exhibitions on the theme of colour in art: Richard Kenton Webb’s Manifesto of Painting and Colour at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton."

For more on Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone see here, here, here, here, and here; Richard Kenton Webb see here, here, and here; Marcus Lyon see here and here; Sidney Nolan see here and here; and Stanley Spencer, see here, here and here.

Artlyst: The Art Diary October 2023

My October Art Diary for Artlyst features several artists I have interviewed or featured previously who have work on display this month. These include Louis Carreon, Alexander de Cadenet, Marcus Lyon, Hannah Rose Thomas and Christopher Clack. Exhibitions featured are at The Arx, Rochester Cathedral, Bankside Gallery, Pallant House Gallery, Brownston Gallery, Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Rachel Bebb Contemporary, St John's Waterloo, St Andrew's Wickford and St Stephen's, St Julian's and St John the Baptist, Norwich:

'The Arx are currently showing works by two of the artists I have had the pleasure of interviewing previously for Artlyst. The display of paintings by Louis Carreon at The Arx provides a first opportunity to see his work in the UK. Carreon reimagines classic art through the lens of sampling, echoing the spirit of hip-hop’s homage and creation. His “story of transformation, from addiction and incarceration to redemption through art and religion, is an inspiring testament to the power of creativity”. The images shown allow viewers to delve into his world, “inspired by art giants like El Greco and Caravaggio”... 

Key sculptures displayed at The Arx – ‘Creation’ and the Life-Burgers – by Alexander de Cadenet are among those that I showed at St Stephen Walbrook in 2017. The Life-Burger sculptures explore the relationship between the spiritual dimension of art and consumerism and investigate what gives life meaning. De Cadenet is a visual artist working in London who has been exhibiting his artworks internationally for the past twenty years. His artworks reveal an exploration into philosophical and spiritual questions such as the meaning of life and death and the nature of human consciousness.'

My interviews with these artists can be found at: Louis Carreon; Alexander de Cadenet; Marcus Lyon; Hannah Rose Thomas; and Christopher Clack. My review of Richard Kenton Webb's recent exhibition is here and my piece about St John's Waterloo is here.

Artlyst: The Art Diary May 2023

My May diary for Artlyst includes mention of Joe Tilson, Alastair Gordon, Dennis Creffield, Jim Ede, Michael Petry, Marcus Lyon, Anne Redpath, Passion Arts, Jake Lever, Evelyn de Morgan, Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian, Ervin Bossányi and Manoucher Yektai:

'Ervin Bossányi: Stained Glass Artist will explore the art of the Hungarian artist in the collections of St Peter’s College Oxford and the stained glass of the College Chapel. Bossányi left Germany for Britain before the Second World War, aware that his family and work would be under threat had he stayed. He joined the large number of émigré artists arriving in Britain, many of whom were Jewish, many of whom explored spirituality within their work, and many of whom would, like Bossányi, receive church commissions in the post-War period. Among his peers in some of these respects were the muralist Hans Feibusch, mosaicist Georg Mayer-Marten, sculptor Ernst Müller-Blensdorf, ceramicist Adam Kossowski, and painter Marian Bohusz-Szyszko. In his life and art, Bossányi fused influences from Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sufism to create a vision of harmonious, unified human societies that were at one with the natural world. This is a profound and profoundly moving vision of life based both on his experience of peasant life in Hungary and the influence of the art of non-European civilisations. It was a vision forged in a time of great conflict and division, which had a significant personal impact on Bossányi.'
