Glenys Cour and Clive Hicks-Jenkins

This exhibition features two of Wales' most respected artists, each of whom has recently held critically acclaimed shows.

Glenys Cour is a renowned Welsh colourist who was tutored by Ceri Richards. She was one of the first artists to exhibit at the Attic, with an exhibition here in 1963.

Clive Hicks-Jenkins' recent solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art Wales, Newport Museum & Art Gallery and Christ Church Picture Gallery in Oxford have attracted enthusiastic reviews in Art Review, Modern Painters and The Independent.

Vivienne Williams

Vivienne Williams has been quietly building up a reputation as a significant artist on the Welsh art scene with regular solo shows in both Swansea and Cardiff over the past decade. Her quiet meditative paintings exude a quality that has attracted both collectors and artists alike.

David Carpanini

David Carpanini is considered a significant painter and influential printmaker not only on the Welsh but also the British art scene. His meticulous work, routinely selected for the Royal Academy Summer Show, is mainly devoted to the presentation of the industrial valleys of South Wales and its people. This major show, almost four years in the preparation, will feature over ninety paintings, drawings and original prints.

Aneurin Jones and Donald McIntyre

We have brought together two of Wales' most distinguished artists for their first exhibition together.

Born in Cardigan, Aneurin Jones is best known for his timeless depiction of West Wales farmers whether at work, the market or on the showground.

Donald McIntyre is an established landscape painter. Based in North Wales the work of this modest man had been overlooked by many. This is no longer the case. He is increasingly being regarded as an important colourist, and the demand for his work has responded accordingly.

24th September - 15th October

Wilf Roberts

Wilf Roberts was born on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales where he lives and works. On leaving school he studied at Croydon Art College and successfully exhibited his work in solo and mixed shows both in South London and the West End.

In 1974 he returned to live on Anglesey and did not exhibit publicly for many years. However, since his retirement in 1996 he has painted full time. A number of successful solo shows have followed, and he has seen his reputation grow. He is now regarded as one of the finest, individualistic landscape artists currently working in North Wales.

Valerie Ganz

Valerie Ganz was born in Swansea. She attended Swansea College of Art and studied painting, sculpture and stained glass. She remained as a tutor until 1973 when she turned her attention to painting full time. As her interest in the landscape of South Wales grew, her attention was drawn to the landscape of industrial areas and, in particular, the mining industry.

Her considerable reputation is based on the work she undertook at Six Bells and later Tower Colliery. However this forms only part of her oeuvre. Recent subjects she has tackled with her usual energy include, jazz musician at Brecon Jazz, the prisoners in Swansea prison and the clubbers in the nightclubs of Swansea.
