Overview

This exhibition will draw out connections to Sophie Ryder’s life and art through a selection of figurative artworks, chosen by the artist from The Ingram Collection, which is housed at The Lightbox. Ryder’s experiences as a female artist will be explored through the work of women artists such as Laura Knight, Rosemary Young and Mary Fedden. Works by Henry Moore and Elisabeth Frink will highlight the impact of Ryder’s residency at Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the impact of her friendship with Frink. Landscapes by Tristram Hillier and Richard Eurich will emphasise Ryder’s experiences growing up, studying, and living in London as well as the English countryside.
