Kenny Hunter: Bonfire
Art Outdoors /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.
The Bonfires are subtle in scale yet vibrant in colour and represent our complex relationship with fire: as a giver of warmth and nourishment, but also as a destroyer and the subsequent environmental impact this brings.

Marialuisa Tadei: Night and Day
Tadei’s works commonly explore mystical and spiritual views inspired by anatomy and nature, and uses geometric forms, such as circles, to symbolise eternity. The two-sided mosaic Night and Day (Incarnazione) is an extension of the artist’s Oculus Dei series (1998-2008), colourful and abstract disks made of glass and marble that can be interpreted as the details in human eyes. - Art Outdoors
