EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic sculpture "Declaration" by Phillip King, captured in all its glory by the talented photographer Steven Baker in 2015. The artwork is located at Beaumanor Hall, nestled within the picturesque surroundings of Beaumanor Drive in Woodhouse, Loughborough, Leicestershire. King's masterpiece stands as a testament to post-war artistry and innovation. Composed of cement and steel, this sculpture exudes strength and resilience while simultaneously evoking a sense of fluidity and movement. From the western perspective captured in this photograph, one can appreciate the sculpture's grandeur against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The artist's intention behind "Declaration" remains open to interpretation; however, its imposing presence invites viewers to contemplate their own personal declarations or statements they wish to make. As an integral part of Beaumanor Hall's landscape since 1961, this remarkable piece has become an enduring symbol that resonates with visitors from all walks of life. Steven Baker skillfully captures every intricate detail and angle through his lens, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in this artistic marvel. His photographic expertise brings out the texture and depth present within King's creation while also highlighting how it harmoniously blends into its natural environment. This print serves as a timeless reminder of both artistic brilliance and historical significance – a visual treasure that continues to inspire awe among those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand.
