Artlyst: The Art Diary June 2026

My June 2026 Art Diary for Artlyst begins with solo exhibitions or installations by the likes of Sanya Kantarovsky, James Turrell, Lakwena Maciver, and Renaud Muraire, among others, that tap aspects of spirituality. Exhibitions engaging with churches come next, including Manifesta 16 Ruhr. Then I highlight exhibitions by female artists that explore aspects of mysticism, often in the context of particular environments. ‘British Landscapes: A Sense of Place’ at Pallant House explores similar themes in a British context. A series of group shows explores art created within regions that addresses elements of re-visioning history, enduring knowledge and evolving faith. I end with two interesting exhibitions in my local area: Focal Point Gallery and Beecroft Gallery in Southend-on-Sea.

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.

For more on Lakwena see here, here and here, on Roger Wagner see here and here, on David Sowerby see here, on Jean Lamb see here, on the Quilter's of Gee's Bend see here, here and here, on Titus Kaphar see here, on Sean Scully see here and here, on Brian Whelan see here.

Artlyst - The Art Diary November 2025

My November Art Diary for Artlyst begins with exhibitions by artists (including Lakwena Maciver, Hannah Rose Thomas, Tuli Mekondjo, and Paul B. Kincaid), about which I’ve written previously or with which I have worked, and venues with similar connections, mainly with a link to spirituality. Then, there are exhibitions of work by significant artists who have had or have spiritual inspirations, including Stanley Spencer, Sister Corita Kent, Sean Scully, and Edmund de Waal. I conclude with several environmentally themed exhibitions at The Arc, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the Nevada Museum of Art, as well as an exhibition in Mexico City on the theme of failure:

'Welsh sculptor, Paul. B. Kincaid’s work can be found at the Courtyard Gallery in Hereford. His background as a Catholic and his continuing faith are manifested in all his sculptures, from a monumental depiction of St. David in the Vallée des Saints in Brittany, to Adam and Eve; Christ on the Cross; and much more. He also has work on public display in the National Botanical Garden in Wales; Newport in South Wales; Rohan in Brittany and the Carmarthen School of Art. When describing his sculptures, he likens them to angels, as “difficult earth-born images”. Not the soft feathered Seraphim of familiar thought instead” a heavy, muscular manifestation that pushes out of a dark concentrate, a kind of rich physical loam that contains the seed of life” – “Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return.” These are fixed objects that will not rest; images of sex and death; a paradox of stone that would be flesh.'
