An Arts Council Collection Touring Exhibition
‘Revealing the Human Form’ features 30 sculptures from internationally renowned artists such as Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Sokari Douglas-Camp and Antony Gormley, as they explore and depict the human form.
This exhibition charts the journey of human sculptural expression from the early 20th century to the modern day. See how sculptors such as Anthony Caro, Lynn Chadwick and their mid-century contemporaries responded to the economic and cultural changes of Post War Britain embracing new techniques, innovative materials and even found objects.
Moving into the 21st century we see artists, such as Turner Prize winning Rachel Whiteread, demonstrate the broadening visual language of human representation asking us to challenge our very understanding of what it means to portray the human body.
