Summary

Discover a wild, unexpected art experience in the English countryside: “Heavy Metal,” an outdoor sculpture show in Oxfordshire featuring towering steel works by Anthony Caro and his protege James Capper. Set in fields and woods with no cafes or gift shops, the exhibit invites you to stumble upon massive, industrial sculptures—some even moving—blending raw metal with pastoral serenity. Caro’s iconic pieces, like “Erl King” and “Star Flight,” use salvaged materials and shifting perspectives, while Capper’s kinetic sculptures, including “IRIS,” echo his mentor’s influence. Owned by dealer Michael Hue-Williams, the show’s free-to-access vibe (with a no-climbing promise) celebrates generational artistry in a uniquely immersive, gallery-free setting.
