Philip Wiseman exhibition in York Hospital

A Philip Wiseman Art Exhibition that is currently on display at York Hospital is not only offering patients and visitors an opportunity to escape to some beautiful scenery from within the hospital, but it is also supporting Cancer Care Services through the sale of each piece of artwork.

Philip Wiseman was born in York and lived here all his life, completing his Fine Art degree at York St John University.

From an early age Philip enjoyed drawing and painting the world around him, nurturing this creative character through the years to develop a feeling for colour and atmosphere which is evident in his works.

Philip sadly passed away in November 2016 after a long fight with cancer. In recognition of the fantastic care he received from York Hospital and the Community Care Team, his family will be donating a proportion of artwork sales to York Teaching Hospital Charity to support Cancer Care Services.

Philip’s passion was painting landscapes, coastal scenes and still life, all of which convey an atmospheric content. He enjoyed capturing the superb light quality of the Vale of York, the rugged beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors and many other places he visited on his travels.

This exhibition, which is currently on display at York Hospital, reflects Philip’s interests in the effects of light and his personal vision of these beautiful places. This exhibition can be found at junction 3 of York Hospital’s main corridor until July 2017 and can also be viewed online at www.york.nhs.uk/arts

Community Fundraiser for York Teaching Hospital Charity, Maya Richardson said “Philip’s exhibition offers visitors to the hospital a chance to escape to some beautiful scenery from within the hospital. The paintings showcase some of the most stunning views in the area and for them to not just help patients in the moment but also support the Cancer Care Services is wonderful”.

If you are interested in purchasing one of Philip’s paintings, please contact the Arts Team at York Hospital on 01904 725265 or email art@york.nhs.uk

A further exhibition of Philip’s paintings will be displayed at Heworth Church Hall, Melrosegate on Saturday 19 August 10am - 5pm.
