This is an eclectic mixture of paintings in all media, drawings, and a stunning installation in Oriel Fach. There are well known artists, Osi Rhys Osmond with some sensitive watercolours and a fine example of an earlier work from his Palestine series, Andrea Kelland, with trees and forests as her subject , moving away from her usual water pools, Warren Heaton with two vigorous landscapes in oils and Martin White, with interesting figure paintings using a textured surface to create an original composition. Some new artists to the gallery include Tim Fudge with myths and legends as the inspiration for his semi abstract paintings, and also drawing on this theme is a superb painting by Helen Gillam depicting ’War Dogs’ howling at a blood red moon. Some traditional views of cromlechs and landscapes, townscapes and still life studies add to this varied exhibition which is a refreshing show amongst the “Christmassey” usuals around the country.
Mike Davies has a few pieces from the iron pour done at Saundersfoot, and there is a fine sculpture -Whale Woman by Natalia Dias.
In Oriel Fach, Natalia Dias, a second year ceramic student in West Wales School of Art, Carmarthen has created an amazing piece of work called the ‘Golden Dome’ which consists of over a hundred ‘canisters’ made in smoked fired clay and gold lustre, suspended at varying heights to give the effect of a cloud. This beautiful image however has a serious message about global warming. This young artist, originally from Portugal was studying in Ireland before taking up the BA ceramic course in Carmarthen, and her passion and commitment will surely guarantee a successful future.
On the stairs, the photographs of Sian Boissevain capture the autumnal golds and atmospheric scenes of dawn and dusks in various countries. Sian loves to travels and is an avid photographer. She has selected this small collection and it brightens up the stairways at this gloomy time of year and spreads warmth to the viewer.
