bocs

Dyfrig Peris is a local born artist from Penygroes who studied Fine Art in Cheltenham University after completing his Art Foundation in Bangor, he has recently started a screen-printing company based in Nantlle and will be collaborating with local artists to create limited edition screen prints.

His work is influenced by Japanese animation and comic style storytelling and has done a series of drawings where imaginary landscapes are populated by amorphous characters. This is one of the reasons I selected him as my artist of choice, as my work involves creating complex landscapes dealing with perspective, space and depth, be it with ink on paper or with paint. Also I believe it to be beneficial to our group that we get as many local artists involved, as they’ll have extra desire and determination in making this a success.

Dyfrig Peris is Iestyn Owen’s choice for the christmas bocs nadolig exhibition.
