05 October 2024 - 04 January 2025Welshness - or rather the experience of living in Wales - is an obvious theme in my work. Elements from my background and upbringing in Meirionnydd insist on inclusion in my work - the home and the farm; the celebrations and the clothing; the music and the Welsh culture; the family traditions and the familiar faces.
Jac Jones
05 October 2024 - 04 January 2025A major exhibition of work by Jac’s Jac Jones, artist, illustrator and author at Storiel promises to be inspiring and surprising. Jac’s images are known to thousands of families across Wales – the Jac y Jwc character he created for the Sali Mali series of books or artworks for classic children’s books such as Lleuad yn Olau and Y Trysorfa to name but a few. Others might be surprised to see Jac’s artistic works in LP covers and theatre posters. For over fifty years, Anglesey born Jac has, and continues to, create artistic work of the highest standard; whether for children’s books, LP covers, theatre productions or television programmes. His work is familiar and yet this is a rare opportunity to see his artisty up-close in a gallery. On display will be sketch books, story boards, familiar characters and less well known artworks. Together, they demonstrate Jac’s talent - he could turn his hand to any style that was required that would produce the best result – a real testament to his creativity, skill and imagination.
