A review of two exhibitions at the Photographers’ Gallery in Central London. The work of Sunil Gupta addresses challenging and personal topics, and Evgenia Arbugaeva creates a dreamscape of life in the Russian Arctic. A Tale Of Two Exhibitions It’s been a long time since I’ve reviewed anything at the Photographers’ Gallery! The last time […]
A review of Fly in League With The Night, an exhibition of works by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye at Tate Britain. A refreshingly contemporary offering from the more traditional of the two London Tate galleries. Discovering Lynette Yiadom-Boakye I love learning about artists I was not previously familiar with. I was very pleased, therefore, that Tate Britain […]
A refreshing take on the theme of touch and connection from an Australian artist in London. Valerie Ellis is one to watch. Touch Me by Valerie Ellis: Connecting Despite It All It’s interesting. I’ve commented once or twice on how much new theatre writing in the last year has focused on the theme of human […]
A review of the Robert Mangold exhibition currently on at the Pace Gallery, London. In which I have the luxurious experience of having the place to myself on a weekend morning. Slow Art On A Saturday Morning I continue to very much enjoy the experience of getting back into art in person via commercial galleries. […]
A review of the exhibitions now on at White Cube Bermondsey. Both Park Seo-Bo and Jessica Rankin bring a splash of colour and a slow approach to art which encourages mindful viewing. Compare And Contrast At White Cube Bermondsey We continue our exploration of London’s commercial galleries today with not one, but two artists. Both […]
A roundup of several London art galleries which have recently reopened. In which I see many artists, many works, and many ways of welcoming visitors back to gallery spaces as restrictions lift. Commercial Gallery Crawl: So. Much. Art. After the year we have had, it feels like such a luxury to be able to spend […]
A review of an exhibition of quilts at the Alison Jacques Gallery, from Gee’s Bend, Alabama. In which I am exposed to a new artistic community, and have a lot to think about in terms of the intersection of ‘art’ and ‘craft’. Commercial Galleries Are Open! And as you can probably guess, I started on […]
A review of Helaine Blumenfeld exhibition Looking Up, currently on view across the Canary Wharf Estate. Given the current scarcity of art on public display, I wish they had made more of the works. Exhibition Extended, But Only In Part Not so long after visiting Canary Wharf to see Connected by Light, I am back […]
An illustrated walk along the North Greenwich section of The Line. While the full art walk probably can’t be done at once under current guidelines, the section around the North Greenwich peninsula contains plenty of interest for a socially-distanced outing. London’s First Public Art Walk The Line describes itself on its website as London’s first […]
A review of the 9th season of Sculpture in the City. More of an assemblage of outdoor art than a real sculpture festival, but in the current situation it’s a good opportunity to get out and see some artworks. Sculpture in the City, Lockdown Style Sculpture in the City, like Canary Wharf’s Connected by Light […]
