I was very giddy when I discovered that there was an exhibition at the
YSP featuring the work of Rob Ryan. So on a Saturday afternoon, with hubby working, the young man and I took ourselves off for a look around. I love the Yorkshire Sculpture Park - there really is something for everyone. Its a great day out, and its totally free to get in (However you will be very tempted by the
sumptuous waft from the fabulous cafe - one of my very favourite places to have lunch - or cake - or both!!). And the gift shop is a
seriously dangerous place for your bank balance too!
The Rob Ryan displays did not disappoint. They are absolutely stunning - so intricate.
They even have larger ones displayed on the walk ways.
And outside, Mother Nature was trying hard to compete with all the
silhouetting going on!
A perfectly brilliant way to spend Saturday afternoon. The exhibition is on until the 20
th February if you want to catch it.

gotta love the man.
ReplyDeleteSigh. I wish YSP wasn't quite so far away, otherwise I'd have been there in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteI've driven past the sign on the Motorway but never been in there, you are constantly making me feel guilty about not appreciating my local area! I love the second photo - and the one of the bare branches of the tree.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is stunning - lucky you for seeing this - I wish I could!

what great photos - we keep promising ourselves a visit
ReplyDeleteYo, Thank you for posting about the show ! YSP is indeed a great place and now my official service station of choice when going up the M1 near junction 38 ! I'm a bit sad that the show is nearly over.
ReplyDeleteI am taking part in a show in Somerset House in London in late April / early May, we are moving our whole studio into the galleries and will work there everyday for 11 days (no days off - what ever happened to the three day week !) do come by and say hello or just throw stuff at me and shout abuse.
Luv
Rob R
Oh shame I don't live anywhere near, I would LOVE to see this.
ReplyDeleteA bit late I know, but Happy Birthday!!!!
