If you’re heading up North (Leeds/Wakefield) before the end of January, we can highly recommend visiting the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. As well as work by Barbara Hepworth and other St Ives artists there’s an amazing exhibition by Clare Woods.
“This new exhibition by Clare Woods explores her interest in the power and history of rock formations in the British landscape, and its various manifestations in the works of artists such as Hepworth, Moore, Sutherland, Piper and Nash. Her large-scale paintings (approximately 10 metres in length) use layers of enamel paint on aluminium. The paintings are often visually ambiguous and claustrophobic in their detail, combining abstraction and controlled figuration, held together by webs of paint and luscious reflective surfaces”.
