About Andrew Waddington: Betwixt and Between – The Poetry of Landscape

Bringing the Cornish coast to Yorkshire this autumn, painter and printmaker Andrew Waddington’s new works in the Visitor Centre will incorporate elements of architecture, mythology, poetry, art and music.

Using a delicate colour palette, the exhibition will feature a variety of mediums, including paintings, prints, and original drawings, depicting both the Cornish, and for the first time, Yorkshire landscapes.

When looking at his paintings the viewer does not know at what period in time the various elements are present; animals and objects float and fade in and out, and perspective is not necessarily followed.

This exhibition is the perfect springboard to get out in nature and explore the fabulous vistas, flora and fauna here at YSP.

Fans of Waddington’s work can purchase a unique artwork, with the proceeds shared between the artist and YSP. We are a registered charity and accredited museum, all proceeds from sales help us to share incredible art and continue to create meaningful, enjoyable experiences for everyone in a unique environment.

    Willem Boshoff: Flagstone

    Willem Boshoff’s Flagstone is a sculpture and a seat, positioned here overlooking Upper Lake to provide a space for rest and contemplation. In summer 2018, Boshoff spent a month at YSP, researching and meticulously recording the flora and fauna. Each day he walked the paths around the Park and became particularly fond of the areas around the Lakes. The residency was followed by an exhibition in Upper Space and the subsequent gift of Flagstone as a permanent work for YSP’s landscape.

    Idit Nathan and Helen Stratford: Further Afield

    Further Afield is a series of sculptures sited around the Upper Lake for visitors to encounter and respond to. Each work is made from wooden railway sleepers, with words engraved on the surface. Certain words have been highlighted by the artists using brightly coloured paint. Over time, the wood will age and become embedded in the landscape of the Park.

    Katrina Palmer: The Coffin Jump

    The Coffin Jump was created at YSP in 2018 as part of the 14-18 NOW arts programme for the First World War centenary. Katrina Palmer was awarded the commission to create an artwork and she took inspiration from the role of women during the war, and in particularly the all-female First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY).
