Art Exhibition
Jonathan Retallick
01 April - 24 June 2023These new works revolve around a central theme of unity between all people, seeking the essence of what connects us. Precise, emotive images using oil paint on smooth canvas explore the line between abstract painting and the hyperrealist aesthetic of fine detail and dramatic lighting; reflecting on such things as the shifting light on flowing water, or a quiet moment.
Ceri Pritchard
01 April - 24 June 2023In juxtaposing the familiar with the out of the ordinary, Pritchard creates surreal and unsettling deviations from the world we know. Fascinated by the illusional and psychological effects of shape, colour and pattern, he explores the metaphors that painting creates.
Ynysgain
21 January - 18 March 2023A selection of furniture, mainly from Ynysgain Uchaf near Cricieth, and associated objects from the Storiel collection.
