Etchings. Lithographs and Wood Engravings by Brangwyn from the Bangor University Collection. Born in Bruges, Brangwyn lived and worked in the UK as an illustrator, painter, muralist, designer of furniture, textiles and ceramics. Brangwyn was also a prodigiously prolific printmaker: he worked predominantly in the mediums of etching, lithography, and wood engraving. He exhibited in Britain, America and all across Europe; he was honoured by numerous institutions and bodies, was elected a member of the Royal Academy and given the first one-man exhibition of a living artist there in 1952.
As part of the National Contemporary Art Gallery Wales project, Storiel are excited to have commissioned five artworks that respond creatively to Storiel’s collections as well as contemporary art from the national collection, many of which can be seen on the Celf ar y Cyd website.

Each artist in turn, will display their work for five weeks within a display cabinet, loaned by artist Gareth Griffith which is located near the stairs on Storiel’s ground floor.

“This small exhibition of still life paintings is my response to some of the ceramic pieces in the Storiel and Bangor University collection. These every-day household objects made one hundred or two hundred years ago speak of life – the people who created the lively patterns and designs of these jugs, mugs, plates, bowls, and the folk who owned and used them.
As a prelude to the display of prints by Sir Frank Brangwyn RA (29 June – 28 September 2024), Storiel is exhibiting examples of etching, lithography, wood engraving, woodcut, and linocut by five contemporary practitioners: Paul Croft, Darren Hughes, the late Karel Lek, Colin See-Paynton and Ian Phillips.
