About Emily Sutton: Town and Country
The largest solo exhibition to date by illustrator Emily Sutton took over YSP Centre throughout winter 2014.
Adorning the walls of YSP Centre, Town and Country featured a delightful display of original and intricate paintings and screen-prints, along with a flock of beautifully embroidered birds nesting in the YSP Shop window.
Incorporating a love of pattern and detail, Sutton took inspiration from her recent travels to Paris and Southern France as well as scenes closer to her native Yorkshire, including YSP and her own home – which she references in her first ever limited edition lithograph print September Dresser (2014), produced by Curwen Studio and exclusive to YSP.

Gavin Turk: Oeuvre (Verdigris)
Oeuvre (Verdigris) is made of bronze and features markings reminiscent of a duck egg. Placed in a natural landscape setting at YSP, this oversized egg seems realistic and familiar, whilst also being comic and surreal due to its scale. - Art Outdoors
Henry Moore: Upright Motives No. 1 (Glenkiln Cross): No 2; No 7
Moore created twelve Upright Motives in the mid 1950s. In their powerful symbolism these pieces owe much to the tall, upright stones, known as menhirs, from prehistoric times. Moore brought all these influences together to create forms which are unmistakably his own. Astrid Butt: Yorkshire Graduate Award

Henry Moore: Large Two Forms
Large Two Forms can be found in the Country Park – Moore’s favourite area of the Bretton Estate, where he enjoyed seeing his sculptures surrounded by sheep. The colossal sculpture is impressive in both scale and composition, appearing very different from every angle and continuing the theme of points that almost meet, which appears in much of Moore’s work.
