Inspired by YSP's landmarks and vistas, A Printmaker's Landscape is a new exhibition of original linocuts by renowned printmaker Sarah Kirby.
Working from her garden studio in Leicester, Kirby uses oil-based inks to create original prints with a bold graphic quality that are inspired by public spaces, buildings, gardening, plants and trees. She is inspired by British public spaces, buildings, gardens, flora and fauna, and works out of her garden studio.
Kirby has been visiting YSP throughout 2023-24 to document her favourite walking routes and landmarks at the Park. She has sketched and taken photographs, discovering the various species of trees across the landscape unearthing new views and natural forms, from which she has created this new, unique body of work. All of the prints will be for sale, with prices from £150 to £350, with Own Art available. YSP is a charity, and all proceeds from sales support its work inspiring all people to enjoy and engage with art, nature and creativity.
