From Sky to Sea: Artists and Water
Millennium Gallery
Sheffield
WATER is not only a vital resource for life on our planet, it has also been a source of fascination for us since we first emerged as conscious beings.
As children we enjoy splashing in water, swimming and the exhilaration of running through the rain, but fishermen and coastal dwellers also experience it as a power that can destroy.
Water shapes, sustains and impacts on our lives in an infinite number of ways. This new exhibition explores artists’ enduring fascination with water and our relationship to it. It brings together painting, photography and works on paper by artists such as Linda Benedict-Jones, Paul Cezanne, Fay Godwin, David Hockney, Eric Ravilious, JMW Turner and many more.
