Materials and Making

The exhibition celebrates Harold Gosney's more than 65 years as a mixed media artist. The exhibition explores the artist's experimentation with various types of wood and metal throughout his career. More than 45 of his works are on show, including the striking Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse structure crafted from copper and Perspex. Notable works on display include the emotive Father and Son, the Jazzman, carved from a single block of sycamore wood, and a trio of drawings depicting views of the nearby York Museum Garden. The exhibition showcases many never-before-seen pieces, including early pieces and several completed since 2020.
