New paintings by Carys Evans

September 26, 2016 2 Comments

In the Ceri Richards Gallery is a collection of around 40 paintings by Carys Evans – her first solo exhibition since graduating in fine art in Swansea in 2013.  The pictures are varied in size and in medium, but all of them share Carys’s persistent themes: female figures in domestic settings; birds, cats and other animals; toys, dolls and other objects, mysterious in their isolation.

Prof. Tim Davies, who opened the exhibition on 24 September, talked about a reticence in Carys’s paintings.  The calm gaze of the women in them holds back an interior, inaccessible life; the viewer is left to try and complete the picture.

Carys Evans, Oriel Ceri Richards, Taliesin, Swansea University, 24 September to 29 October 2016.
