bocs

Bocs is proud to annouce that work by two of our members, Gethin Wavell and Morgan Griffith, along with work by Bocs Board member, Gareth Griffith, have been selected for the National Eisteddfod of Wales Open Exhibition at Wrexham!

Incidently, Gareth is Morgan’s father, and this is the first time in the Eisteddfod’s long history that a father and son have ever been chosen to exhibit at the same time.

Also New Bocs member, Rebecca F. Hardy, opened her first solo , exhibition, “Serch”, at the Arthaus61 in Bangor last night. An exhibition of expressive, primitive, surreal and at times auto-biographical artworks. www.rfhardy.blogspot.com

So all in all Bocs has quite a lot to celebrate this weekend! Congratulations to everyone, well done!

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.

Bedwyr Williams was kind enough to open the exhibition for us with an inspiring speech, whilst Ioan Thomas launched our bocs co-operative with a pop of the champagne cork.
