I graduated from Cardiff UWIC in 2007, where I studied fine art. The work that’s on show is work that I have produced in the last two years. I enjoy looking at a wide range of artists, from Guston to Goya. I also have a fondness for literature and films. I see my work as the final image of encounters and reactions that I’ve had, or am ever going to have. Therefore, I rely heavily on my imagination, and memories. With these tools I’m able to construct a piece of work that is highly personel and corresponds to what I surround myself with.
Recent Work by Ioan Griffith + Morgan Griffith 4 - 30 September 2010
Looking At Faces is an exhibition of recent work by brothers Morgan and Ioan Griffith.
With both artists working on a similar theme with contrasting approaches, Morgan’s work is painting and collage based, whilst Ioan has produced a slide projected installation using a penry facial identification kit.
Humour is a strong element in both artists work.
“Since every human contact in every area in our existence begins with a meeting of faces, an understanding of them is, or should be, everybody’s business.” Jacques Penry

Yup, those lovely people at Google have done it again. Art lovers the world over can now stroll through and view The Prado collection online or rather, “14 of the most important works in the museum” including masterpieces by Bosch, Francisco de Goya, Diego Velázquez, Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt.
The Prado in Google splash page gives you the option of viewing it in Google Earth, or in Google Maps. (You will need to click “Save to my maps”) These will let you view the pieces in ultra high resolution, meaning that you get to zoom right in and see all the fine details, bringing you far closer than it would be possible with the originals. Some of the pieces are 3 metres high and art galleries are not in the habit of providing ladders.
Although this was certainly not our first exhibition, this was the first one where we collated work from bocs members.
Hugh Edwin Jones, (Creative Enterprises Officer from Gwynedd Council) was kind enough to open the show for us with some inspirational words.
We had a strong show, curated by bocs member Sevan Garo Nigogosian, that exemplifies the diversity of styles, talents and interests of some of bocs’ members:
