Event Details

Gary Hamer Rees (Born 1948, Glanamman), is a Welsh oil painter, notable for his depictions of mid-20th Century working class people and landscapes of the South Wales Coalfield.

Growing up in the coal mining town of Upper Brynamman, Carmarthenshire, he studied art at Carmarthen School of Art and Birmingham School of Art from 1966 to 1969.

His work is greatly influenced by his upbringing in close proximity to both heavy industry and rugged rural landscapes. His paintings depict the impact of the coal mining industry on the working and social lives of people in South Wales during the mid 20th Century

Featured Artists

With Spring around the corner, we are feeling inspired by nature and looking forward to getting back into the great outdoors. Our main exhibition features the fabulous work of Loren Brooks, aka ‘The Singing Crafter’. Lorens’ pieces are created using the needle felting technique, where layers of unspun wool are used to create beautiful textural images with a natural quality that have to be seen to be fully appreciated.

We are also featuring the latest work by our very own Beth Giles. Beth has had a limited run of prints of her most recent natural history series that sold out over Christmas. The series is inspired by the local flora and fauna, and this edition includes the popular ‘Ab’snailing with the Funguys.’ Beth will be developing this series in the next coming months so expect more soon!
