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.

The Fountain of Love by Domenico Sepe. Found in Matera, Basilicata, Italy.

A beautiful story of love whereby a man offers a blushing girl collecting water at the fountain a rose. Watched by two men and another woman waiting for the fountain. Striking to see.

Andrew Precup showed a provocative and moving installation with us at Fresh Air Sculpture 2019.
.
Here is some new equally thought provoking work...
.

Posted @withregram • @precupac "A penny and a dream" is a series of small scale sculptures consisting of hand made houses and real bank notes or coins. The houses are made from materials varying from steel to marble. Each one is unique but all of them abstract and blank, becoming a representation for a universal home. The currency adds value to the work both conceptually and literally.
Whilst the quirky and humorist value of the work is inviting, the piece is posing the following questions: What is the value and worth of this art piece? Will the spending of the notes devalue the work?
Key points of the work:
• the house is a vessel, a void and a symbol for grounding, safety and belonging.
• the exchange between the artist and the buyer becomes part of the concept
• the work will not devalue completely and become worthless as long as the bank note is attached to the piece

A penny and a dream No.1
Steel and £10 note
6x6x9 cm
Edition of 10
£10.01 (+p&p)

For any information dm me or visit my website www.andreiprecup.com

ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers.
The concept is a simple one, post images of your work to sell for NO MORE (can be less) than $200 (£200, €200, A$300, C$300, ¥20000) each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time you reach $1000 (A$1500, C$1500, ¥100,000) of sales you pledge to buy another artist/s work for $200. (A$300, C$300, ¥20000)

Yesterday we went to the MA Grad Show @saatchi_gallery. So much wonderful work there - truly inspiring.
.
We loved this ... Interpreter XIII by @betty.leung.art. Digital print on fabric, stuffed into sausage like lengths. We had to really restrain ourselves from squeezing it.
.
The show is open until 25 September.

Posted @withregram • @the_rhs Have you had a chance to visit the monumental Four Seasons sculptures at @rhswisley yet?

Inspired by 16th century paintings of nature and brought to life by sculptor and filmmaker Philip Haas, The Four Seasons are often displayed together, but the decision to place each in their own setting at Wisley allows them to be appreciated individually, surrounded by the Garden's grand vistas.

The Four Seasons exhibition at Wisley has been extended to the end of the year, book your visit on our website to see the sculptures in each of their spectacular settings.

We have opened up The Old Rectory Cottage for AirB

We have opened up The Old Rectory Cottage for AirBnB!

Sitting on the banks of the River Coln and opposite the church in the village of Quenington, in the heart of the Cotswolds, we are 7 miles from the market town of Cirencester and forty minutes drive from Cheltenham.

Originally staff quarters for the main house, The Cottage is self-contained with its own entrance. It has 2 upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom, and downstairs is the kitchen, sitting room and laundry closet.

The Cottage has been decorated with interesting artworks and objects as well as plenty of books.

The Cottage has its own private garden, but our large 5-acre garden may be accessed by prior arrangement, as can the heated swimming pool, for which an additional charge will be payable.

A proportion of the takings will be donated to the Quenington Sculpture Trust

Come and stay!

All the details can be found via the link in our bio.
