An exhibition of sculpture, textiles and paintings by artists George Wagstaffe and Michala Gyetvai will open at Coventry Cathedral on the 1st May 2025.
Artists come together to gain mutual support and share common values. ‘Sharing’ is also through a sense of belonging, to a tradition, to an environment, to an iconography. Whilst the work of the two artists have followed quite separate and distinctive programmes of work, the ‘soft’ rhythmic, ‘painterly’ textiles of Gyetvai compared to the ‘hard’ and sometimes ‘dislocated’ sculpture of Wagstaffe, there is nonetheless a strong sense of shared concerns and thematic ideas.
The works exhibited here exemplify such a coming together and explore in quite different ways those un-seen and powerful forces that continue to determine the human condition.
