This November Welsh Artist, Iwan Bala, will be exhibiting a new body of work never before seen by the public at the Penarth Pavilion.<\/p>\n
Iwan Bala ,60 , was \u00a0born Richard Iwan Ellis Roberts in\u00a0Sarnau near Y Bala in North Wales. He will be showing his new work \u00a0Dyma Gariad (Fel y moroedd), or in English Here is a Love (deep as oceans), in the Penarth Pier Pavilion for the month of November.<\/p>\n
The pavilion went under a \u00a34.2 million restoration in 2013 and won ‘project of the year’ by the UK\u2019s Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The venue is host to art exhibitions, workshops, cinema screenings and concerts.<\/p>\n
The artist said, \u201cmy interest lies not in ornamental cartography, in skillful and pleasing formations of letters but in attempting to express the spontaneity of the moment of writing.\u201d With his work, Iwan wants to return to the origins of the words, before the piece becomes perfectly finished.<\/p>\n
A second part of the exhibition is the artist\u2019s satirical response to the main characters in the lead up to, and in the result of, Brexit. Many of Iwan\u2019s Brexit drawings have become popular on Facebook, adding that he believed an artist has a duty to comment and protest.
