Withiel 2016

Group Exhibition
Open from 15th May by appointment only
Marrying contemporary art with landscape in a unique and spectacular way.

Nestled in an ancient Cornish village, a handful of miles from the Atlantic coast, the Withiel sculpture garden marries contemporary art with landscape in a unique and spectacular way.

Works large and small by a rich mix of respected artists currently occupy the gardens, orchard and woodland of this 17th century estate, where Lemon Street Gallery owner Louise Jones is fulfilling her dream to create a beautiful, organic outdoor exhibition space, open by appointment.

Developed over five years with the guidance of world-renowned landscape designer Anthony Paul, and the tireless labour of a team of supporters, it is a place that invites you to linger. A gentle stroll through the five-acre plot offers an eclectic journey of sculptural delight. There’s something special around every corner – in the bluebell wood, along the paths and borders, on the formal lawns, and even among the fruit, vegetables and flowers of the kitchen garden.

The summer 2016 show run until September 30 and includes pieces in stone, bronze, copper, stainless steel, ceramic, glass and resin; artists featured are Peter Burke, Doug Cocker, Terence Coventry, Sally Fawkes, Barry Flanagan, Andrea Geile, Richard Jackson, Heather Jansch, Tim Lewis, Sophie Marsham, Ruth Moilliet, Rosie Musgrave, David Nash, Giles Penny, Sophis Ryder, Helen Sinclair, Jilly Sutton, Yasuo Terada, Paul Vanstone, Patricia Volk, Jason Wason and Joanna Wason.

Withiel Sculpture Garden is open, by appointment, until September 30. Call Lemon Street Gallery on 01872 275757 or email [email protected].
