Barbara Hepworth Wakefield Clare Woods

The new exhibition at the Hepworth gallery wakefield it is by an english artist Clare Woods. Who is quite heavily inspired by the rocks and valley's and hills in peak district. She mainly paints in bright colours, with oil on aluminium sheets to get lots of interesting smooth textures. At first glance her pictures look completely abstract, but if you stand back a bit you can start to see the forms of rocks, trees and landscapes taking place. These are some of her paintings.


It is in the Hepworth gallery designed by David Chipperfield architects. It has lots different sections angled differently so it fits in with Wakefield's factory skyline. It also has some clever roof lights hidden from view. This is a picture of the gallery.
