The
exhibition 'Ar Bapur' promotes the work of three artists
who all live in Wales, work in Wales and are Welsh speaking.
What they each create is work that develops their own visual
language rooted in the intimate knowledge of their homeland.
Though steeped in the history and mythology of Wales, none of them
follows the expected path of Celtic imagery and none of them takes
the easy route of following traditional craft styles
Unlike many artists who feel they are working in isolation, these
three are well integrated into their village communities. There
is a sense of continuity in their work; of history and language
as well as an awareness of the changing face of the land around
them and the communities in which they live.
'Ar Bapur' runs at Oriel Queens
Hall Gallery until 20 November 2004
