CLARE WOODS : THE UNQUIET HEAD
22 Oct 2011-29 Jan 2012
The Hepworth Wakefield
Wakefield WF1 5AW
Overview
The Unquiet Head presents a new group of paintings by Clare Woods that explore what she sees as supernatural elements of the landscape, depicting forms that embody our complex relationship with nature. In her work, rock formations, natural pools and twisted vegetation become powerful signs of a dual attraction to and fear of the landscape. She continues a tradition of British landscape painting characterised by artists such as Paul Nash, John Piper and Graham Sutherland. This will be explored as part of an accompanying display of work selected by the artist from major UK collections.
