DiversionsMarcus Beck & Simon Macro, Nao Matsunaga, Dawn Youll

Originated by Glynn Vivian Art Gallery

CRAFT GALLERY 22 October – 10 JanuaryThough diverse, these works are connected not just through their

play on surface, but also by a compelling awareness of narrative, no

matter how functional the structures. Marcus Beck & Simon Macro

are a remarkable duo known as Freshwest, who produce

and design art furniture in Tenby, Wales. Both studied

fine art and with their subtle humour reflect a

paradoxical approach to furniture design. Nao

Matsunaga’s sensuous, muted sculptural

ceramics suggest organic growth,

juxtaposing smooth curves with

sharp angular entries into dark

architectural interiors, whilst

Dawn Youll’s diverse ceramic work

takes an investigational role into the complex process of perception.

Rich in colour and finely structured by ideas, her work often relates

to playful abstractions of mundane objects. Dawn studied at

University of Wales Institute Cardiff.

Er eu bod yn amrywiol, mae’r gweithiau hyn yn gysylltiedig, nid yn

unig drwy eu hymdriniaeth o arwynebau ond hefyd gan

ymwybyddiaeth gymhellol o naratif, ni waeth pa mor ymarferol y

mae’r adeileddau. Mae Marcus Beck a Simon Macro yn ddau hynod

iawn, a adwaenir fel Freshwest, sy’n cynhyrchu ac yn dylunio celfi

celf yn Ninbych y Pysgod, gorllewin Cymru. Astudiodd y ddau

ohonynt gelfyddyd gain a chyda’u hiwmor cynnil maent yn

adlewyrchu ymagwedd baradocsaidd at ddylunio celfi. Mae gwaith

serameg cerfluniol synhwyrus a thawel Nao Matsunaga yn

awgrymu twf organig, ac yn cyfosod cromliniau llyfn gyda rhannau

onglog, miniog yn mynd i mewn i rannau mewnol pensaernïol,

tywyll, tra bod gwaith serameg amrywio Dawn Youll yn ymchwilio i

broses gymhleth canfyddiad. Yn gyfoeth o liw a’r adeiladwaith yn

gain gan syniadau, mae ei gwaith yn aml yn ymwneud â haniaethau

chwareus gwrthrychau cyffredin. Astudiodd Dawn yn Athrofa

Prifysgol Cymru, Caerdydd.

Eva BartussekHorse House


ROOM 1 3 October – 29 November Preview Friday 9 October 7pmEva Bartussek is an emerging Swansea based photographer who

seeks to expand notions of documentary portraiture through her work.

Horse House is the documentation of an extraordinary local, domestic

situation: a mansion that for some time was simultaneously a home

and stable. By photographing this ‘world’ extensively, Bartussek

sought to illuminate its dreamlike, even surreal aspects. In this piece,

she creates a portrait of a person without photographing them directly

and in doing so the portrait becomes that of a home, its contents, a

house, its history, a situation, a space and so on.

Mae Eva Bartussek yn ffotograffydd o Abertawe sy’n dod i’r amlwg ac

yn ceisio ehangu syniadau portreadu dogfennol drwy ei gwaith.

Mae Horse House yn portreadu sefyllfa ddomestig leol anarferol:

plasty a fu am beth amser yn gartref ac yn stabl. Drwy dynnu

ffotograffau o’r byd hwn yn helaeth, roedd Bartussek yn ceisio dod â’i

agweddau breuddwydiol, a hyd yn oed swrrealaidd, i’r blaendir. Yn y

darn hwn mae’n creu portread o berson heb dynnu ffotograff ohono’n

uniongyrchol ac wrth wneud hyn daw’r portread yn un o gartref, ei

gynnwys, ty, ei hanes, sefyllfa, lle ac yn y blaen.

Tim DaviesBetween a Rock and a Hard Place


MAIN GALLERY 10 October – 6 December Preview Friday 9 October 7pmThis major solo exhibition will include an exciting range of works by

one of Wales’s leading contemporary artists.

The exhibition includes Bridges (2009), a series of work in which Davies

utilises found images of bridges from around the world, erasing all

traces of the background to reveal only the structures themselves, and

in doing so brings vividly to our attention their real and symbolic

meanings. Also included will be other recent two-dimensional work and

video pieces such as Kilkenny Shift (2009), a site-responsive work made

for Kilkenny Castle in Ireland. Tim Davies lives and works in Swansea

and has exhibited in both the UK and internationally. He was winner of

the Mostyn Open Prize in 1997, the National Eisteddfod Fine Art Gold

Medal in 2003, the Richard and Rosemary Wakelin Purchase Award in

2005 and was shortlisted for the prestigious Artes Mundi prize in 2004.

Mae’r arddangosfa’n cynnwys Bridges (2009), cyfres o weithiau lle mae

Davies yn defnyddio lluniau y mae wedi dod o hyd iddynt o bontydd o

bob cwr o’r byd, gan ddileu pob darn o’r cefndir i ddatgelu’r adeileddau eu

hunain yn unig, ac wrth wneud hyn daw â'u gwir ystyr, a'u hystyron

symbolaidd i'n sylw. Bydd yr arddangosfa hefyd yn cynnwys gwaith dau

ddimensiwn diweddar arall a darnau fideo megis Kilkenny Shift (2009),

gwaith sy'n ymateb i safle a wnaed ar gyfer Castell Kilkenny yn Iwerddon.

Glynn Vivian (1835-1910), which includes work by old masters as well

sculpture by Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Paul Nash,
