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 October 2025

My latest Art Diary for Artlyst features exhibitions by several artists whose work I have championed through essays and exhibitions, as well as solo and group shows that explore environmental, social, and spiritual concerns. Read on for news of exhibitions by Michael Landy, Ana Maria Pacheco, Robert Smithson, and Suzanne Treister, among others, together with shows at Compton Verney, Firstsite, Pallant House, and the Engelundsamlingen in Vrå:

'‘Everyday Wonder to Revelation’ at Clare Hall, Cambridge, is an exhibition providing a rare opportunity to see paintings by Caine. These paintings delve into the core Neo-Platonist idea of the oneness of the world, the nodus mundi. We see this in his depictions of everyday objects, such as rugs, mopheads, carpets, and bundles of cloth. Although his subject matter is humble, the intricate depth of his draughtsmanship reveals unity and cohesion. We see it too in his expansive and luminous landscapes. When Caine blends his perceptions of space and shimmering light in the landscape with his exploration of the core in everyday things, he presents us with a vision of worlds beyond. His images invite us to step through a veil into barely imagined possibilities. Through his exploration of the small, the infinite beckons; through his exploration of the wonder of the everyday, revelation becomes possible.

In the essay I wrote for the exhibition catalogue, I note that: “Without reference to standard religious iconography and with a primary focus on landscape, still life, and portraits, Caine imbued and infused his work with spiritual reflection and with spirituality itself. That he did so in ways that allow those who do not share his beliefs to enthusiastically embrace and appreciate his work for their many other compelling qualities is a testament both to Caine’s skill as an artist and the subtlety of his understanding of the connection between earth and heaven.”'

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.
