“This small exhibition of still life paintings is my response to some of the ceramic pieces in the Storiel and Bangor University collection. These every-day household objects made one hundred or two hundred years ago speak of life – the people who created the lively patterns and designs of these jugs, mugs, plates, bowls, and the folk who owned and used them.
An exhibition of folios, paintings and prints which explore the Celtic Rainforests of North Wales and the Sub-Antarctic Forest of South Chile.
Etchings. Lithographs and Wood Engravings by Brangwyn from the Bangor University Collection. Born in Bruges, Brangwyn lived and worked in the UK as an illustrator, painter, muralist, designer of furniture, textiles and ceramics. Brangwyn was also a prodigiously prolific printmaker: he worked predominantly in the mediums of etching, lithography, and wood engraving. He exhibited in Britain, America and all across Europe; he was honoured by numerous institutions and bodies, was elected a member of the Royal Academy and given the first one-man exhibition of a living artist there in 1952.
As a prelude to the display of prints by Sir Frank Brangwyn RA (29 June – 28 September 2024), Storiel is exhibiting examples of etching, lithography, wood engraving, woodcut, and linocut by five contemporary practitioners: Paul Croft, Darren Hughes, the late Karel Lek, Colin See-Paynton and Ian Phillips.
