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.

Art Exhibition

Jac Jones

05 October 2024 - 04 January 2025

A major exhibition of work by Jac’s Jac Jones, artist, illustrator and author at Storiel promises to be inspiring and surprising.  Jac’s images are known to thousands of families across Wales – the Jac y Jwc character he created for the Sali Mali series of books or artworks for classic children’s books such as Lleuad yn Olau and Y Trysorfa to name but a few. Others might be surprised to see Jac’s artistic works in LP covers and theatre posters. For over fifty years, Anglesey born Jac has, and continues to, create artistic work of the highest standard; whether for children’s books,  LP covers, theatre productions or television programmes.   His work is familiar and yet this is a rare opportunity to see his artisty up-close in a gallery.  On display will be sketch books, story boards, familiar characters and less well known artworks.  Together, they demonstrate Jac’s talent - he could turn his hand to any style that was required that would produce the best result – a real testament to his creativity, skill and imagination.
