Sophia Vari: Le Roi and Le Reine

Installed in 2024, Le Roi and Le Reine by Greek painter and sculptor Sophia Vari.

Look out for the black and white sculptures in Lower Park, near to Bretton Hall.

I seek to take geometry, volume and form and humanise the whole within space.

    RAVINE creates the appearance of a natural rock that has been broken apart. By using cast concrete, which has been coloured with black pigment, Kovats is further highlighting her interest in these opposing ideas. The sculpture is perfectly sited in the woodland around Upper Lake.

    David Nash: Seventy-one Steps

    71 oak slabs were charred and oiled on site before installing, and were placed to work with the lie of the land. The steps are completed by 30 tonnes of coal surrounding the steps, creating a stunning installation that will erode and change over time.
