The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is currently holding a solo exhibition by Illustrator Jonny Hannah. The Exhibition invited its visitors to "take a stroll down Main Street in Hannah's vintage-inspired homage to the independent trader". Displayed in the Yorkshire Sculpture Parks main building, Jonny Hannah's work provides an amazing colourful tunnel to walk through before entering the huge landscape of the YSP.
I really enjoyed looking at Jonny Hannah's playful illustrations because of the vibrant colours and gestural brushwork employed in the creation of his work. When I was at York College studying a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design, Jonny Hannah had an exhibition in the small event space on the second floor so it was great to see some of his more recent work in a different setting. I admired the curation of his work, it was packed full of colourful prints and painted objects in a bric-a-brac manner, producing an interesting and dynamic array of work to be seen. If you have not already been to see the exhibition I would really recommend it. Not only is there the amazing work of Jonny Hannah, but there is lots more art to be seen throughout the park including the exhibition Poppies: Wave and a selection of the pioneering American video and instillation artist, Bill Viola.
