15 January – 27 February

The main body of this exhibition is the artist’s meditation and obsession with the Irish sea – both literally and figuratively. There is also a combination of specific locations on Anglesey which are linked to the artist’s childhood. Also featured within the exhibition are paintings of Arenig Fawr near Bala. This originates from the artist’s contribution to a BBC4 documentary on Augustus John and John. P. Innes’s visit to Arenig Fawr over a century ago.

5 March – 10 April

This exhibition of new works by Brendan Stuart Burns comprises bold abstract paintings inspired by the urban and rural landscape. One of the most exciting and challenging artists in Wales - he has twice won the

Of a Feather – An Avian Alphabet
16 April – 5 June

Widely regarded as the leading exponent of wood engraving in the UK, this exhibition by Colin See-Paynton shows exclusively an entire ensemble of newly created wood engravings. Each one of the wood engravings in this exhibition has been made over a period of 4 years and takes us through the alphabet from Abandonment of Cuckoos through Gaggle of Geese, Tiding of Magpies to Zephyr of Longtailed Titmice. A series of books accompanying the exhibition are also for sale.

Little Things
11 June – 24 July

This exhibition of paintings, drawings and print work by the artist Eleri Jones focuses on the ‘little important things’. The main theme of the exhibition is trinkets and ornaments from her grandmother’s house and her parents home as well as scenes from small local agricultural shows and colourful markets in India and Nepal. Also included in the exhibition are landscapes from Wales and beyond and works that document the daily routine of her family run farm.

Walking the Shore
30 July – 18 September

This is not so much “an exhibition of paintings” as an exposition of the ways that Howard has illuminated a particular aspect of the coastal landscape. Living on a relatively narrow peninsula it would be difficult to
escape from the sights and sounds of the sea. For an artist who might be more sensitive than most to the tempo and the dynamics of a landscape bounded by tidal waters, he admits that it would be unnatural to feel
different about the proximity of the sea, the vulnerability of its shoreline and the weather patterns which distinguishes this from more mountainous areas of Snowdonia.

Le Chéile
24 September – 6 November

This exhibition is a Welsh-Irish collaborative project: communication through printmaking.

“Le Chéile” is Irish for “together”, in the sense of “connecting” or “meeting up”.

What makes this collaboration especially different is the fact that the artists are not always working in the same physical space and therefore the work is produced sequentially. There is no face-to-face communication, no interruptions of dialogue, no discussion, and no immediate response. The collaborating artist responds to the work in front of him/her. The work develops at a distance, slowly. Therefore, because of this delayed response,the project is a long term one which is now entering its next phase.
