The work of sculptor Barbara Hepworth features amongst the highlights of The Figure in the Landscape exhibition in Winchester
ART lovers are running out of time to visit The Figure in the Landscape exhibition.
The two-month show at Winchester Discovery Centre features the work of internationally acclaimed artists Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
The artwork by Moore consists of a bronze hand while Hepworth’s sculpture is of two figures carved from Cornish slate.
Pieces by 10 other contemporary sculptors and ceramic artists are being displayed including Peter Randall-Page and Emily Young.
The other artists are Adam Buick, Chris Dury, Lotte Glob, Tim Harrison, Charlotte Mayer, Rebecca Newnham, Rachel Schwalm and Roger Stephens.
More than 8,000 people have visited the exhibition since it opened in November.
County council executive member for culture and recreation Cllr Keith Chapman said: “Hampshire County Council is proud to have put on such a significant exhibition which has been enjoyed by so many people.
“I would urge anyone that hasn’t been to see it to go and have one last look.”
The show at the Discovery Centre in Jewry Street ends on Sunday, January 8.
