MILL Bridge Gallery is Skipton is hosting its second Craven Arts exhibition, The Celestial Landscape, an exploration of Yorkshire landscapes.

The work features two artists working in very different mediums. Helen Peyton is a printmaker using linocut and monoprint, whilst Mark Butler is a sculptor working in bronze and steel.

Mark is influenced by looking at old and new maps as well as the experience of being in the landscape. His work explores the history of a site, or looks at how the land is used in many different ways.

Helen’s prints are a celebration of the beauty of the night sky. They look at the iconic areas of Yorkshire that are enhanced by the magnificence of the evening and the stunning impact of familiar silhouettes.

Sculpture is a passion for Mark, who loves turning everyday objects or hand sculpted forms into a precious metal.

He said: “By adding colour and polish to bronze, it takes on a new life, highlighting the different textures and shining with an inner glow that no other material can match.

For Helen, her local countryside was the perfect subject

She said: “There is nowhere more beautiful or nothing more inspirational than the Yorkshire Dales at night. We are really lucky because there is no light pollution, the sky is so dark that the constellations light the view.”

The exhibition runs until Saturday, June 2.
