Walking the Land’s selection of artworks which celebrate and respond to our local landscape. Over 20 selected Gloucestershire artists come together in OutsideSpace, each to offer their unique vision and to explore the relationship between art and landscape.
British landscape art is incredibly popular with the viewing public, reflecting our national affection for the countryside but also our fear of its potential loss.
Gloucestershire’s countryside offers
some of the most visually stimulating
landscapes in the country. But as more of us live in towns and cities, we’ve become gradually separated from our landscape roots.
In OutsideSpace we see local artists re-acquianting us with the landscape through their artwork. Their role is to confront and challenge the viewer’s expectations of landscape, into accepting both the tradition of representational landscape painting, as well as a newer, more contemporary interpretation of the subject involving other approaches, disciplines and media.
