Sculpture Exhibition at Salisbury Cathedral

Aug 4, 2011 0 comments

More than 20 figures have been placed around Salisbury Cathedral in Salisbury, England, in an exhibition by figurative sculptor Sean Henry. The exhibition titled 'Conflux: A Union of the Sacred and the Anonymous', features over 20 contemporary sculptures of dramatically different scales occupying vacant plinths and open spaces on both the inside and exterior of the iconic 13th century building. The exhibition, which opened in late July, includes many of the sculptures the artist has created over the past 12 years along with new works which will be shown for the first time at the church. This exhibition brings to the Cathedral the biggest single group of polychrome sculpture since the Reformation and runs until the end of October.
