  The public Square of The New Art Gallery has been designed by artist Richard Wentworth working with Kinnear Landscape Architects.

Richard Wentworth

Richard Wentworth is one of the generation of younger, internationally acclaimed British sculptors who have fundamentally altered traditional definitions and perceptions of sculpture. His work allows us to recreate our perception of the world by forcing us to reappraise the objects with which we are surrounded. He has said 'I live in a ready-made landscape and I want to put it to work': he takes manufactured objects and re-presents them, stretching affinities and creating unions with fresh elements. The object and our perception of it are thus fundamentally reconceived.
