Barry Flanagan: Large Nijinski on Anvil Point
Art Outdoors /Barry Flanagan: Large Nijinski on Anvil Point
Large Nijinski on Anvil Point by Barry Flanagan has returned to YSP – the sculpture was last on display here in 2009.
Look out for the hare balanced on a giant anvil in Lower Park, near to Bretton Hall.
I prefer working with the essential stuff of sculpture rather than my own “ambitions” for it.

Kenny Hunter: Bonfire
Kenny Hunter’s work is an examination of popular culture through the legacy of a darker history that continues to shape contemporary life. His work disrupts traditional modes of sculpture presentation by using bronze, which is associated with traditional statues or monuments, in combination with humble or everyday subject matter. This can be seen in the Bonfire works that are in the YSP landscape. - Art Outdoors
Henry Moore: Reclining Figure: Arch Leg
Moore’s recumbent figures reflect many different stages of abstraction, with Reclining Figure Arch Leg being highly abstract and comprising two highly simplified forms to suggest a body. Moore often thought of the human figure in terms of landscape, and the reclining position reflects the horizontal bands of earth, sea and sky. The torso and arched leg of this work could be seen as resembling a sea stack and arch as found around the coast of this country. - Event
