Above:TheHepworthWakefieldBelow:MistakenPoint, 2011; The Intended,2011 both byClare WoodsART AND NATUREThe Hepworth Wakefield's secondexhibition has recently opened, with thework of British painter, Clare Woods.The Unquiet Head(22 October 2011-29January 2012) presents a new group ofpaintings by Clare Woods that exploreswhat she sees as supernatural elementsof the landscape, using forms thatembody our complex relationship withnature. In her work, rock formations,natural pools and twisted vegetationbecome powerful signs of both a dualattraction to and fear of the landscape.Far from a picturesque representation ofthe countryside, Woods presents apsychological response to its dark anduntameable nature. A reader offer related to this exhibition ison page 50The Hepworth Wakefield will continue to expand the collection and mount exhibitions of Modern British art as well as work by contemporary artists, illustrating how the work of Hepworth, Moore and others is as relevant today as it was during their lifetime. In 1943, Ernest Musgrave, the director of Wakefield Art Gallery, first approached Hepworth with a proposal for an exhibition. She said: "I should like to have an exhibition at Wakefield - I think I'm less known in Wakefield than anywhere!" With this fantastic gallery and the Hepworth Family Gift, hopefully this concern has finally been addressed. Open Tues-Sun, 10am to 5pm.
