Oriel Myrddin Gallery’s exhibition - Roger Cecil + 4 Contemporary Painters is a collaboration between TEN., the estate of Roger Cecil and Oriel Myrddin Gallery, celebrating both contemporary painting in Wales and Roger Cecil’s important contribution to the medium.
Mission Gallery are pleased to be able to showcase a further selection of paintings and prints for sale by Carmarthenshire based artist Helen Booth in the gallery shop.
Helen Booth graduated in 1989 from Wimbledon School of Art. In 2012 she was awarded the Pollock Krasner Foundation award for painting.
Booth’s understated yet powerful abstracted landscapes are, in her own words, ‘gestural images, offering a personal view of transcendent nature’. Inspired by the Welsh winter light, silver, black, grey and white, Booth strives to capture the flattening quality of it, the way it turns everything into line, making geometry of landscapes and rock formations and distilling everything else – skeletal trees and melancholy weather - to scratches, scuffs and scars.
Arddangosfa ar y cyd yw Roger Cecil + 4 Arlunydd Cyfoes rhwng TEN., ystâd Roger Cecil ac Oriel Myrddin Gallery i ddathlu arlunio cyfoes yng Nghymru a chyfraniad pwysig Cecil i’r cyfrwng.
Mae’n bleser gan Oriel Mission arddangos paentiad a chasgliad o brintiau gan yr artist Helen Booth a seliwyd yn Sir Garfyrddin, oll ar werth yn ein siop.
Graddiodd Helen Booth yn 1989 o Ysgol Gelf Wimbledon. Yn 2012 fe wobrwywd gyda gwobr peintio Sefydliad Pollock Krasner.
Yn ei geiriau hi, mae tirluniau abstract tawel ond cryf Booth yn, ‘ddelweddau mynegiannol, yn cynnig golwg bersonol o natur drosgynnol’. Wedi ei dylanwadu gan olau gaeaf Cymreig, arian, du, llwyd a gwyn, anela Booth ddal ansawdd gwastad, y ffordd mae’n troi popeth i linell, gan greu tirluniau a ffurfiau craig geometreg wrth bylu popeth arall - coed ysgerbydol a’r tywydd lleddfol - i grafiadau, marciau a chreithiau.
