Castlegate Quarter Drawings
The four large Castlegate Quarter drawings produced with the aid of a YA Micro grant. Each drawing depicts a different aspect of the Castlegate Quarter of Sheffield. This marks a change in direction for the work. Moving away from studies of single buildings towards the much broader subject of a specific part or quarter of a city that is under change.
A part of the grant was used to produce a new drawing using images gathered from an open submission of photographs by the public Information about A Picture of Sheffield can be found here.

A Picture of Sheffield event
Exchange Place Studio
22nd November 2015
Sun 12pm – 3pm
Sheffield City landscape is changing rapidly, something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by local artist Peter Griffiths, a studio holder at Yorkshire Artspace. Quietly obsessed with Sheffield’s architecture, Griffiths has been producing drawings from photographs for the past four years, examining the readymade shapes, textures, patterns and forms of Sheffield’s topography.
Griffiths was awarded a Microgrant earlier this year by Yorkshire Artspace to develop four large scale pencil-drawn collages of the architecture of Sheffield’s Castlegate area plus an additional collaborative work entitled A Picture of Sheffield.
To develop the work, Griffiths issued a public call out for digital submissions of photos which capture the architecture of Sheffield.
“I use photographs of the subject to provide readymade shapes, textures, patterns and forms which can be appropriated, rescaled and cropped into simple motifs and then collaged into a final image that in some way redefines the original subject.
Final call for a ‘Picture of Sheffield’
Thanks to everyone who has already sent in a photograph. Anybody planning to send one in needs to get a move on.
It is getting close to the Yorkshire Artspace Open Studio Studio event so I will be closing photo submissions for the ‘Picture of Sheffield’ that I am creating.
The cut off date is Sunday 8 November. So if you want to take part you need to submit a picture before then.
To submit a photo go to a ‘Picture of Sheffield’
I will be giving away 50 prints and doing a demonstration of the how I have produced the the final drawing at Open Studio on the Sunday 22 at Exchange Place Studio
Launch of the call out for images
