Sculpture North

Sculpture North presents 30 works from leading and emerging contemporary sculptors

Set within the vibrant cultural landscape of Leeds, this

exhibition celebrates the diversity of sculptural practice, offering a fresh and

compelling exploration of form, materiality and artistic

innovation.

With an emphasis on natural mediums including stone, marble, wood, clay, and glass,

Sculpture North highlights the enduring connection between artist and material,

tradition and reinvention. These works reflect a deep engagement with the tactile and

elemental, demonstrating how contemporary sculpture continues to evolve through

both time-honored techniques and experimental approaches.

Historically, sculpture has been associated with monumental forms and rigid traditions.

However, Sculpture North challenges these conventions, showcasing how

contemporary artists are always redefining the medium through new perspectives,

interdisciplinary approaches and a breaking of traditional boundaries.

Beyond the artworks themselves, Sculpture North also serves as a platform to

showcase the North and The Sculpture Gallery as a thriving hub for artistic excellence.

By bringing together a range of voices and perspectives, this exhibition highlights the

rich and varied contributions of today’s sculptors, reinforcing the region’s growing

reputation as a centre for creative innovation
