The Hepworth Wakefield presents exhibition of British artist Clare Woods, starting saturday 22nd October until Sunday 29th January 2012.

Clare Woods looked at two well known Yorkshire sites; Ilkey Moors and Brimham Rocks for inspiration. She took over 500 photographs of the weird and wonderful sedimentary rock formations and formed a collage, which resulted in some striking paintings on a massive scale. Reaching up to 6 metres high and 10 metres long, Clare uses enamel, creating luscious and reflective surfaces on aluminum panels.

Close up the paintings are vidid and abstract but when stepping away the magical elements of the landscape appear and you begin to recognise Brimham rocks and the naturally formed sculptures, in a beautiful setting.
