Jørgen Haugen Sørensen: Supplement til Titlens Afskaffelse
Art Outdoors /Jørgen Haugen Sørensen: Supplement til Titlens Afskaffelse
Jørgen Haugen Sørensen created works that deal with universal human themes, such as life and death, love and suffering, violence, freedom of speech and power.
His varied practice included the use of many mediums, although stone became very important to him. He stated that the ancient material has power and “sacred potency”. Haugen Sørensen saw a comparison between the construction of poetry and stone carving, believing they share similar thought patterns and slow processes.
Supplement til Titlens Afskaffelse (Supplement to the Title’s Abolition) embodies Haugen Sørensen’s respect for and relationship with granite. After YSP organised his first solo exhibition in the UK in 1993, the artist developed a great interest in siting sculpture in the open air, enjoying the tough, uncompromising nature of granite, which is one of our hardest and most unyielding stones.

Lucy + Jorge Orta: Diana
Woodland Spirit – Diana, formerly known as Ulbelka (a water goddess and the ancient name of the Huveaune, also a word meaning ‘destroyer’, referencing the river’s tempestuous character), was renamed by the artists in 2014 to reflect its current location at YSP. - Art Outdoors
Jaume Plensa: Wilsis
Wilsis appears to be deep in thought or dreaming. Her eyes are closed and she is inward-looking and self-contained, remote from the present moment and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Although monumental in size at over 7 metres high, this sculpture depicts a normal girl, rather than immortalising a traditionally extraordinary or powerful person. - Art Outdoors

David Nash: Black Mound
Black Mound was made for the YSP landscape by David Nash in 2013. Once in place, he charred the oak forms through a carefully controlled burning process that relates to his interest in the four elements.
