Leeds artist David Lyon will exhibit his new paintings “Wildflowers” in the beautiful, light-filled atrium of the Bexley Wing at St. James’s University Hospital, Leeds. The exhibition will hang on the 26m x 5m gallery wall within the entrance area and aims to stimulate patients, staff and visitors alike in a life-enhancing celebration of the natural world.
“These paintings use the colours, shapes and forms of wild flowers, the often overlooked beauty of the everyday and the commonplace. As the paintings developed, I was increasingly conscious of the space in which they would be exhibited. This beautiful light-filled space and the nature of the building we are in are far from ordinary and like the people who pass through this way, all extraordinary for many reasons. The aim is to provide patients, staff and visitors, with a life-enhancing celebration of the natural world and a chance, perhaps, to look again at the ordinary and wonder.”
Open: All day, every day.
Commission from sales will go to Yorkshire Cancer Centre, which is the fundraising arm of St. James’s Institute of Oncology.
