Mae Bywyd Llonydd / Still Life yn arddangosfa hwyliog a lliwgar sy’n dod â phaentiadau o’r Casgliad Cenedlaethol ynghyd â gweithiau celf newydd sbon a gomisiynwyd gan wyth o artistiaid a gwneuthurwyr cyfoes.

Mae pob artist wedi cael paentiad o’r Casgliad Cenedlaethol ac wedi cael cais i greu gwaith celf 3D wedi’i ysbrydoli ganddo. Maent wedi defnyddio lliwiau, siapiau, gweadeddau, patrymau neu ddeunyddiau o’r gwaith celf gwreiddiol i greu rhywbeth newydd.

Mae’r arddangosfa’n ein hannog i edrych yn fanwl, sylwi ar y cysylltiadau rhwng y gweithiau celf, a darganfod sut mae artistiaid yn troi syniadau’n rhywbeth cwbl newydd.

Bywyd llonydd / Still Life is a fun and colourful exhibition that brings together paintings from the National Collection with brand-new commissioned artworks by eight contemporary artists and makers.

Each artist has been given a painting from the National Collection and asked to create a 3D artwork inspired by it. They have used colours, shapes, textures, patterns or materials from the original artwork to create something new.

The exhibition encourages us to look closely, spot connections between the artworks, and discover how artists turn ideas into something completely new.

“The residency is a fantastic opportunity which I could not recommend more, if you have the opportunity, go for it!”

25-26 graduate resident Edith Matthews Edith Matthews

Love seeing & hearing what the 25-26 graduate residents have been up to and even more excited to see what they are planning to do next!

Another of our 25-26 graduate residents Katherine Breaks Katherine Breaks☆ 🦢

“Without the space to produce new work I wouldn’t have been able to apply for or accept invitations to exhibit in exhibitions in Bristol, North Wales and even Copenhagen- for which I am still pinching myself.
I feel it has been the most perfect launch pad into life outside of higher education where I have had total independence. My studio has been a creative oasis for me this last year and I cannot wait to see what the next year brings forth. ”
