Oriel Lockdown
Canolfan Celf Aberystwyth // Aberystwyth Art Centre
Mehefin - Medi 2021 // June - Sept 2021
Comisiynwyd i greu gosodiad ar ffenest Oriel 2 ac arddangos dau ddarn o ludwaith argraffu a'r sgrin
“Gyda’r rhan fwyaf ohonom wedi’n cyfyngu i’n tai a’r cyffiniau lleol, fe wnaethom sylwi ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol fod llawer iawn o bobl gan gynnwys artistiaid amatur a phroffesiynol yn troi at gelf a chreadigrwydd i’w gwireddu. Roedd gan Oriel Lockdown 400 o ddarnau gan 160 o artistiaid, mae’r arddangosfa’n dathlu’r gwerth y mae’r celfyddydau wedi’i chwarae dros gyfnod y pandemig ~ ‘creu trafodaeth ddiddorol rhwng ‘proffesiynol’ a chelf o’r tu allan.''

Commissioned to create a installation on the window of Gallery 2 and showcase two collage screen-printed artworks.
“With most of us confined to our houses and the local vicinity, we noticed on social media that a huge amount of people including amateur and professional artists were turning to art and creativity to see them through. Oriel Lockdown had 400 pieces by 160 artists, the exhibition celebrates the value that the arts have played over the period of the pandemic ~ ‘creating an interesting discussion between ‘professional’ and outsider art.” Ffion Rhys AAC
