'Overlooked' - drawn from the works of 5 contemporary Sheffield artists who all share a common interest in exploring the unseen and mundane. Focussing on marginal, liminal spaces that most people wouldn't give a second glance. Creating observational paintings that use landscape to create a narrative and emotional tension.

'Look beneath the surface, let not the several quality of a thing nor it's worth escape thee' - Marcus Aurelius

Hyde Park In The Early 70's

I've just been watching videos about Sheffield on youtube and trying to find footage specifically of Park Hill in the past and came across this stunning image of Hyde Park from the early 70's (Park Hill is just over the horizon on the right side of the image). I've heard talk about Hyde Park's size but this really does bring it home.


This picture isn't my own it's a still grab from this following video by Pete Hill of Corvideos.com - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwiz1A9gEWM
