Gethin Wavell “Bad Wart False Teeth 2″ (Adventures in the shed)

12 October 2010

Exhibition by Gethin Wavell at Oriel Dafydd Hardy, Caernarfon. Private View : Wednesday 3rd November (7-9pm)
Then open to public 4th - 26th November 2010

Opening hours: Monday - Friday 10 am – 4pm (Saturday 10am -1pm)

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.

Robert has exhibited numerous digital installations including at Ars Electronica, Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art, the ICA, the Barbican Gallery and the Millennium Dome.

Currently Reader in Fine Art and Head of Fine Art at Cardiff School of Art & Design, he has spoken and lectured on philosophy, new technology and the relationship between art and consciousness.

“The reason I chose Robert Pepperell Is because I’ve been an admirer of his work for a while, but still haven’t seen his work. I thought this would be a good opportunity to make the most of this event so I can see the work in the flesh.”

Robert Pepperell is Meirion Alan Ginsberg’s choice for the christmas bocs nadolig exhibition.
