'Though his imagery is linked to childhood memories of Puerto Rico, you will also find dentures, crabs and eyes, and his unusual style of painting means he never knows what the work will end like.' Interview with #AngelOtero @HWSomerset by @DavidTrigg studiointernational.com/index.php/ange…

'#ChiharuShiota’s immersive web-like installations, fashioned from coloured thread and found objects, are the focus here. But her dazzling creations eclipse any autobiographical messages.' Review @haywardgallery by @DavidTrigg studiointernational.com/index.php/chih…

‘His almost scientific methods of observation led him to take months, even years to finish a painting, but his undoubted technical brilliance turned warm, human flesh into something austere and lifeless.’ Review of #EuanUglow @MK_Gallery by @DavidTrigg studiointernational.com/index.php/euan…

'This utterly compelling two-channel video installation visually and aurally reflects the fractured history of the African diaspora.' Review of #OlukemiLijadu: Feedback at #SpikeIsland by @DavidTrigg studiointernational.com/index.php/oluk…

‘Loved by the public for her colourful and humorous paintings of people enjoying themselves, she was nonetheless derided by critics. This rich exhibition marks the centenary of #BerylCook’s birth.’ Review by @DavidTrigg @theboxplymouth studiointernational.com/index.php/bery…

Listen to the full conversation with award-winning photographer @kierandodds here: exhibitingfaith.buzzsprout.com #podcast #artandfaith #photography

The intersection of contemporary art and faith is often overlooked but there is growing appetite to consider this. The Exhibiting Faith podcast is therefore timely and helpful to speak into this discussion. Faith both as a subject of art but also as a motivating force for artists. I had listened to the first season of the podcast and was very happy to receive an invitation from art writer and critic @DavidTrigg for season 2. We spoke at the @V_and_A @VADundee Dundee where my Church Forests series is included in the Garden Futures show (ending 25th January 2026). I was impressed by his considerable research and thoughtful questions. Like the best interviewers, he afforded you space to speak then asked insightful questions. We discussed what on earth non-fiction photography is, the Border Patrol series, Gingers, of course, and what gets me out of bed in the morning? He also uniquely draws out the role of faith in my work. You can skip to the different chapters or listen to the whole thing. Also check out the back catalog there are some cracking pods. exhibitingfaith.buzzsprout.com

'This magnificent exhibition includes bold posters, woodcuts, portraits and still lifes, but it is #WilliamNicholson’s non-commissioned pictures of people from lower social classes that steal the show.' Review @PallantGallery by @DavidTrigg studiointernational.com/index.php/will…

'A luscious selection of sweets, cakes and pies seduce us at this, the American painter’s first UK museum show. But was he celebrating the American dream and its values or critiquing it?' Review of #WayneThiebaud @TheCourtauld by @DavidTrigg studiointernational.com/index.php/wayn…
