Peter Randall-Page at Yorkshire Sculpture Park
27 June 2009 to 11 April 2010
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
West Bretton
Wakefield WF4 4LG
This extensive exhibition brought together new and recent sculpture and works on paper. Peter used the large spaces of the Underground Gallery as a catalyst and platform for an ambitious range of work which has extended his practice and given expression to ideas developed over many years. New pieces included a striking, innovative series of wall works in fired clay based on geometry and symmetry, and two monumental Kilkenny limestone carvings.
All aspects of Randall-Page’s practice were represented in this exhibition, including his working processes through the display of maquettes and models in the Project Space. The Garden Gallery featured small-scale objects and works on paper, with the lawns around the Underground Gallery framing a wonderful range of large-scale sculptures.
