* Punk Notes by Des Jones.
Over 60 striking images feature in the latest exhibition
at the Pavilion by Llangollen Artists.
A total of seven artists with a hugely varied range
of styles are taking part in the free-to-view show which lasts until June 14.
Amongst the exhibits by Des Jones are a couple of
pictures executed in printers ink of musicians, the most notable of which to
some will be the one entitled Punk Notes
which depicts a guitarist in an all-action pose.
An appropriately haunting image of an Old Ghost House is part of the eclectic
display by Carys Haf Roberts. There’s a
definite otherworldliness to this atmospheric mixed media offering which
leaves one wondering exactly where the house is located.
Raising the mood significantly is the adjacent work
of Philip Charles Parker, all are brilliantly
observed and vividly coloured, none more so than the jocular oil on canvas creation
entitled Won’t You Pour Me a Cuban
Breeze, Gretchan?
Outstanding colours coupled with draughtsman-like
precision also abound in the pictures of Jenny Saltmarsh. A good example of her
style and a real eye-catcher is the study of motorbike race ace Joey Dunlop scorching around the track.
Landscapes but far from traditional ones feature in
the thoughtful work of Richard Buxton, including the acrylic on canvas piece Landscape With Ravens. Its presentation
is simple but extremely effective.
Tellingly evocative of the subject is the oil
rendering Ready, one of the
collection displayed by Louise Edwards, which shows a First World War soldier posing
with his mates for a picture presumably ready to go “over the top”. On his face
is a gritty smile perhaps because he’s aware what his fate might be.
A particularly stunning landscape of Dinas Bran
Castle and the hills surrounding it is one of the memorable offerings from photographic
artist Simon Collinge.
