Blog posts of '2016' 'September'

A wonderfully attended evening and these two photos are of Anne Kerr , the Gallery owner, chatting to John Russell Taylor, the art critic of the Sunday Times and the second is Peter Lord, the Art Historian and Speaker also in discussion with J.R.Taylor.

while preparing to hang the private sale and everything placed on the floor, a couple popped in, it was Andrew Davies, the trumpet player who hosts a Wednesday night show at Ronnie Scott's, who, with his girlfriend were staying in South Wales for a few days.. With an offer of being put on the guest list for his show, they showed great taste in art  and their calling in meant the week couldn't have got off to a better start .

The private sale that is taking place on Friday evening, Sept 16th is gathering momentum. 

Peter Lord, the author of many books concerning past and present art and its culture in Wales will give a talk, Peter is a wonderful orator, he has previously spoken at the Gallery on Piper, Brangwyn, Ceri Richards and Sutherland, only to return a few weeks later to record a BBC Cymru programme on the work of Frank Brangwyn...his evening talk this time will be very interesting because...the quality of both the  Artist and the work in this private sale is of a very high standard, while Sir Kyffin Williams and John Knapp Fisher are extremely sought after here in Wales, the work of William Gear and David Martin would be sought after across the UK and not just Scotland, the Gallery has these artists work and with Philip Sutton RA. and John Piper also on the walls very little needs to be said about the upward direction being taken. 

Other artists of note who will be on show include, Josef Herman, David Tress, Neil Canning, Jane Corsellis and Peter Coker to name just a few.

To see the continued progress of the Gallery and all the work on show, many good names not mentioned above but of note in the UK...perhaps a Rose  Hilton drawing being a good example.....why not come along between 6and 8pm on the 16th. You would be made most welcome.
