Private / Public. An exhibition of oil paintings by Paul Rees
This exhibition of paintings is based on two themes related to the ‘theatrical’:
One is of actors in preparation in their (often quiet) private backstage world - before stepping onto an exposed ‘public’ stage - where they will perform to the public.
And then there is the ‘public’ face of theatre: audiences arriving; theatre stewards in the auditorium, attending to customers taking their seats; and the anticipation from seated patrons waiting for ‘curtain up’.
Both actors and audience are, in their own ways, ‘on show’ - albeit with different mindsets - one, to entertain… and the other, to be entertained.
Join us for the private view Friday 1st November at 6pm
Julie Davies: Heart of the Valleys
Julie was born and brought up in the Ogmore Valley, which may be found at the heart of the South Wales mining valleys, north of Bridgend.
She has always had an interest in art from an early age and has enjoyed painting as a hobby, drawing inspiration from the landscape surrounding her home.
Naturally with her Welsh background, some of the artists whose work has inspired her are from Wales, such as Kyffin Williams, Kevin Sinnott, Shani Rhys James and Bert Evans. Since her retirement as a ward manager at the Angelton mental health unit in 2019, she has enjoyed developing her artistic skills using various styles. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic she has returned to working bank shifts at the hospital to help out due to staff shortages. Currently she has developed a number of Valley and Welsh Reflections mainly through the medium of acrylic.
