An exhibition of new paintings by Tim Rossiter and atmospheric landscapes by Ronald Moore has set the tone in the oriel CRiC gallery for another year of art which inspires and delights.
Tim’s unusual use of oil paints adds a unique luminosity to the work whether he is depicting an autumn garden, a medieval building or his beguiling ‘imagined theatre’ paintings. Visitors to the gallery may be surprised to see just how small the brushes are with which he creates these imaginative responses to the shapes, colour and patterns of his surroundings.
Ronald Moore’s rural landscapes capture the light and character of the Welsh border country near Hay on Wye and are delighting visitors while adding to the rich variety in the exhibition which will continue until 10 March.
Adding to the excitement of the gallery’s programme, artists are once again invited to submit entries to the Crickhowell Open Art competition. Now in its fifth year this results in an exhibition which fuels the imagination and impresses with its quality. Entries are received from far and wide as anyone may enter. The resulting exhibition of selected work is launched during the annual Crickhowell Open Studios weekend and will run from 25 May until 7 July. Details of the online application process can be found on www.visitcrickhowell.co.uk or by emailing openart@visitcrickhowell.co.uk The closing date for applications is 29 March 2018.
With six changing exhibitions, off site exhibitions in the Courtroom Café and the CRiC Studio the gallery’s busy and dynamic programme is a celebration of art and creativity. The Crickhowell Open Studio weekend (26 – 28 May 2018) will this year celebrate its tenth year of showcasing art and craftsmanship in the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains.
