Sleep, that essential activity that everybody needs. Storiel has a fascinating collection of sleep related objects not normally seen together. This exhibition will be a cosy, colourful celebration of patchwork quilts, traditional bed covers, night clothes, a cradle, hot water bottles and even a model of a traditional box bed, made in the 19th century.
Celebrating cultural links, an exhibition of work by artists from Bangor, Soest and other Sister Cities mark the fiftieth anniversary of the City of Bangor ‘twinned’ with Soest, Germany. Town twinning enables a special relationship between two communities, promoting understanding of different cultures.
Contemporary illustrations in ink, print and stitch of the Hills of Khasi. A new collection of work following further study visits to the region with reference to original letters by missionaries over the years.
A series of colourful contemporary maps recording all areas of Wales; noting towns, main roads and mountain ranges.
Scores of tiny porcelain boats convey the tidal flow of Traeth Mawr, Porthmadog, before the Cob of 1811 drained the land. This installation will offer a new perspective, distilling the essence of ‘Flow’ into the Storiel gallery space.
The culmination of a continual dialogue over several years brings two artists who are engaged with colour together for the first time. This new work shows each artist’s different perspectives and approaches. Hedley’s work is an organic abstraction, responding to the shape, patterns, and grain of the timber on which he paints. Rhythm, repetition and spontaneity are indicative of Smith, combining both the rational and emotional state of making.
Some of the legendary posters and artwork created by Stuart and Lois Neesham from the Enfys workshop which give an insight into the music scene in Bangor in the 70’s.
An exhibition on an open theme showing artwork of various media including painting, print, photography, textiles and ceramic. An opportunity to vote for your favourite artwork.
These new works revolve around a central theme of unity between all people, seeking the essence of what connects us. Precise, emotive images using oil paint on smooth canvas explore the line between abstract painting and the hyperrealist aesthetic of fine detail and dramatic lighting; reflecting on such things as the shifting light on flowing water, or a quiet moment.
