Colours of Sheffield is inspired by artist Mary Tear’s hugely popular print series of the same name.
Sheffield is often referred to as “grey”, “dull”, or even “grim”! But we Sheffielders know that our city is bursting with colour and vibrancy. You can spot dazzling colours in every corner if you pause long enough to notice them.
These colours draw reference from our everyday sights across Sheffield to form a bright and stylish patchwork.
How many colours can you recognise?
The artist
Mary Tear – Colours Of
Mary Tear, originally from Beverley in East Yorkshire, moved to Sheffield in 2012 to study International Law, and quickly fell in love with the city she now calls home. In 2017, Mary started carrying a pack of 100 coloured postcards around Sheffield and matching them to the brilliant colours she spotted across the city, and sharing the photos on her Instagram (@ColoursOf_).
In 2020, she turned this colourful concept into her first print ‘Colours of Sheffield’. Mary sees these Yorkshire colours as a beautiful palette collectively curated by the many colours, experiences and people that make up a colourful Yorkshire for us all to be proud of.
