ABOUT FRESH AIR SCULPTURE

Set up by art collectors, Lucy and David Abel Smith, the first Fresh Air Sculpture was held in the Quenington Old Rectory gardens in 1992. Acclaim for the show’s originality and innovative mixture of traditional, modern and cutting-edge outdoor sculpture has grown year by year and Fresh Air Sculpture is now an established and much anticipated fixture in the art events calendar. Fresh Air Sculpture became a charitable trust, under Quenington Sculpture Trust, in 1997.

Amazing work @carolpeace_art . Posted @withregra Amazing work @carolpeace_art . Posted @withregram • @carolpeace_art Sometimes, well hardly ever actually, you make a piece of work which is the piece you have always being trying to make, what your work is fundamentally about, even though you can’t quite pinpoint what that is. Which is good because if everything could be explained with words then what’s the point my job. . Place Bronze Female Figure Standing in Iron Resin Circle 41cms x 41 cms x 5 cms deep Fixings/Base extra Not sealed, ie rust colours will change when outside. . . If I can sort out the fixings then it will be in my @thompsonsgallery show in September. I am also hoping to make a 80cms high version. . . #sculpture #figurativesculpture #circle #gardensculpture #artwithoutwalls
Have you been to @messumswiltshire to see their Fr Have you been to @messumswiltshire to see their Frink set up? . We haven’t, but can’t wait to, so really enjoyed this preview by @frutholstrup 🙏 . . Posted @withregram • @frutholstrup On the weekend I went to the re-opening of @messumswiltshire (amazing to stand infront of art again) where they have resurrected Dame Elisabeth Frink’s Woolland studio in their historic tithe barn. Messums rescued the studio from collapse in 2019 and reconstructed it to display a collection of original plasters alongside tools and objects salvaged from Woolland, providing a never seen before insight into one of Britain’s foremost sculptors. Frink lived and worked at Woolland, Dorset from 1977 up until her death aged 63 in 1993, and her studio bore witness to over a decade of prolific drawings and sculptures. Photographs by Ian Chapman: White Out of Dark  documents the fascinating discovery of more than 80 original plasters between 2017 – 2019. Some were damaged, some mere fragments, but the sculptures bear the marks of Frink’s hands and express humanitarian feelings and concerns. Born in 1930, Frink is amongst the most notable sculptors of the last century whose works continues to be widely exhibited in public and private collections throughout the world. In 1969 Frink was awarded a CBE and in 1971 she was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy. During the decade of 1982-1992 she was awarded a DBE, had a solo exhibition at the Royal Academy and was awarded a Companion of Honour. It’s a very fresh and inspiring exhibition and really worth the drive or train to Tisbury, Wiltshire and post exhibition we had a seriously delicious lunch in the Mess Tent next to the barn. #messumswiltshire #elizabethfrinksculpture #artislife #artcuration #openingup #gallerylife #artinthecounty

Posted @withregram • @mao_gallery “Learn something. Apply it. Pass it on so it is not forgotten.” - Ruth Asawa . We share these words by the influential artist, educator and activist, #RuthAsawa on the day we'd originally planned to open a major exhibition of Asawa’s work and life at the gallery. We are overjoyed to now bring you this much-anticipated exhibition in 2021. It will feature her signature hanging sculptures in looped and tied wire, along with prints, drawings, letters and photographs presenting her visionary bringing together of art, education and community. #CitizenoftheUniverse #comingsoon .

Last year, at Fresh Air Sculpture, we were thrille Last year, at Fresh Air Sculpture, we were thrilled that Steppes Travel @steppes_travel generously offered a £500 bursary to one of our exhibitors. They chose ceramicist, Elaine Bolt @elainebolt as the recipient. Elaine had made and set up 15 ceramic ‘trees’, each around 4 foot tall and held together with central iron rods. They were installed for the Fresh Air Sculpture show in the river by the water mill and together they formed a striking installation entitled ‘River Trees’. We wanted to know what plans Elaine has to make use of the bursary funding so we asked her to share with us where the money will take her. Click the link in our bio to read all about them. . Elaine’s planning has been hindered by COVID-19 but it's wonderful to see her forging ahead with ideas to make the most of the funds. . . . . . . #elainebolt #ceramictrees #ceramicsculpture #rivertrees #quenington #cotswoldgarden #englishgarden #freshairsculpture #garden #gardendesign #summergarden #sculptureshow #sculpturegarden #gardendesign #cotswolds #cotswoldlife #contemporarysculpture #countrygarden #gardening #gloucestershire #gardenlife #englishcountrygarden #sculpturelovers #englishcountryhouse #cotswoldhome #talesfromthegarden #juneinthegarden
