Art in the Garden at Wingwell This summer, for the fourth year running, the eight acre gardens and grounds of Wingwell - a family home in the heart of the English countryside - will provide a natural showcase for work from renowned and admired artists. Exciting eye-catching work from over a dozen highly acclaimed contemporary artists is lined up for Artdejardin 2008 – Rutland’s garden sculpture exhibition.
'Emerging Forms' Woven Willow from Artdejardin 2008 exhibitor Laura Ellen Bacon First time exhibitors include Peter Beard, Janet MacLeod and Nicolas Moreton - showing alongside Wingwell favourites including Alison Crowther, Ruth Moilliet, Rebecca Newnham and Christopher Marvell. The gardens have been lovingly developed by horticulturalist Rose Dejardin and her landscape architect husband John, to provide a stunning backdrop to sculpture - inviting visitors to appreciate how the pieces truly work in natural surroundings. Exhibits have been carefully sited to inspire, provoke and please – with settings ranging from woodland to border to vegetable plot. A total of 17 artists from around the country have been chosen to take part, offering visitors the chance to see work from favourite exhibitors as well as pieces from those taking part for the first time. Exhibits from newcomers include John Creed’s striking Good Vibrations, stunning seating rom Andrew Trotman and Janet MacLeod’s calming Spirits of the Wood. “We are delighted to bring together a selection of high quality, inspiring work and to site it in a garden setting where visitors can really enjoy the experience,” said Rose Dejardin. Set in the heart of rural England, Wingwell at 5 Top Street, Wing, Oakham is open from 10am - 5pm Wednesday - Sunday from 21 May- 7 September. Entry costs £3.50/£2.50 (accompanied children are free).
