Sculpture at Beaulieu
A DIVERSE trail of 300 sculptures will be on display in the grounds of Beaulieu’s National Motor Museum and inside Palace House this summer, with a programme of special evening viewings.
The biennial Sculpture at Beaulieu showcase will run from 17th June to 24th September, featuring an array of eye-catching and thought-provoking works by 57 international and national sculptors.
Accessible as part of admission to the attraction, the sculptures will celebrate a diverse range of materials and methods, ranging from little to large, stone to steel, glass to mixed media. All work in the show will be for sale, with something to suit all tastes and budgets.
In the Abbey Cloister, award-winning RHS Chelsea exhibitor, sculptor Nicolas Moreton, will display an exhibition of work featuring a selection of his figurative stone sculptures.
Local sculptor Michael Turner from Milford, who is known for creating a trail of handmade poppies in aid of the Royal British Legion, will be contributing spectacular stainless steel works to the exhibition.
Other featured sculptors include Sandra Bell with her striking cast bronze sculptures, Harmony Altissimo and Emergence Maya 11; Jill Berelowitz, whose high-profile commissions have been exhibited at Sotheby’s, Heathrow, and RHS Chelsea; and Jonty Hurwitz who is known for his pioneering style of scientifically-inspired artworks and anamorphic sculptures.
A collection of ten sculptures by Cheshire-born Joanne Risley will be displayed throughout the gardens, representing forms derived from botany and biology, fabricated using geometric shapes in corteen steel.
Event curator David Waghorne said: “We are delighted to be back for a third year at Beaulieu. Once again, every piece has been carefully selected to complement its setting.
“There will be an eclectic mix of work to be seen, from figurative sculptures and abstract pieces to key signature pieces.”
Special evening-only tickets are also available during July and August. To find out more visit www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/sculpture-at-beaulieu
