Featured Artist
A number of exciting artists have been selected to exhibit as part of Winter #2, including Ruth McLees. Ruth specialises in contemporary figurative work and portraiture. She plays with layering, particularly the effect of veiling her paintings with different grades of glass. She also experiments with varnish and resin to create unusual scenes that convey the illusion of movement within her pieces.
Project Ten launches latest exhibition in “pop-up” venue
One of Cardiff’s most innovative galleries, Project Ten, is set to “pop-up” in the Castle Arcade on 1 December.
Project Ten’s latest pop-up exhibition, Winter #2, is set across two floors and promises to push the boundaries art in South Wales.
Winter #2 comprises a diverse selection of artistic media. It showcases the inter-disciplinary talents of Welsh-based artists, including painter Menna Angharad and award-winning designer Jess Jones.
Project Ten plays an integral role in the growth of Cardiff’s burgeoning arts scene. Indeed, its curator, Cat Gardiner, says, “We provide a much needed commercial and professional platform for contemporary artists and designers with a Welsh connection.”
The exhibition launches Thursday 1 December, from 6 – 8pm, and continues until 23 December.
