WAKEFIELD.- Celebrating the Yorkshire landscape is at the heart of a new exhibition by artist and designer Janine Burrows at
Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Table to Tide: A Yorkshire Conversation brings together a new body of work by Yorkshire-based designer, painter and illustrator Janine Burrows. In this exhibition Burrows explores many endearing and captivating places found in Yorkshire, including some exclusive site-specific pieces created especially for YSP.
Working across a mixture of mediums, and with 2D and 3D works, including new limited edition screen prints and hamlets of houses, Table to Tide: A Yorkshire Conversation transports Burrows back to her grassroots, from her back garden to the North Yorkshire Coast, her neighbourhood allotments, to YSP. Small havens and longed-for spaces, celebrate her birthplace, her homeland, and all things Yorkshire.
Unique works across different media will be available to purchase online and at YSP, including a new limited edition screen print.
There is a beautiful range of merchandise developed to complement the show including a carry-all tote bag and pouch, a 10-inch bone china platter and mug, and a wooden jigsaw puzzle and postcards featuring exclusive designs by Burrows and imagery from the show.
Janine Burrows is a designer, painter and illustrator from West Yorkshire. Originally from a surface pattern and printed textiles background, Janine applies techniques used in these areas to all aspects of her creative career.
Painting is where Janines heart is, with a style that takes bold colours and expressive mark making to represent the constant inspiration from the great British countryside and coast. Using mixed media she creates textural pieces. Gouache, acrylic, pencil, oil pastel, even household paint have their uses in exploration. Her work deals with memories and captured moments within a certain place, taking photographs and sketches back to her studio for reflection to work on the finished piece.
