Autumn 2025...

With the arrival of autumn, regular exhibitors such as Martin Truefitt-Baker, Lee Wright, Tim Rossiter, John Harris and others, have been joined by landscape artist Matt Williams. Matt says of his work: “Working predominantly in oil paints, I not only seek to capture the essence of the physical - the geographical and textural landscapes of Wales - but to also invite the viewer to explore the emotional aspects of our nation that lie within, and alongside, its rugged beauty such as the historical, cultural and socio-political contexts”. The gallery is delighted to be including a collection of Matt’s paintings.

Printmaker Paul Rickard’s long-held interest in archaeology also leads him to be particularly drawn to a human connection in the landscape. He feels that “there is often a degree of tension between these structures, their original function, their modern setting and society’s changing cultural attitudes towards them”. Paul is exhibiting a fresh collection of prints some of which are a result of his participation in a collaborative exhibition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the South Wales Miner’s Library.

Specialising in printmaking, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, textiles and jewellery the Oriel CRiC Gallery shows the work of regional and visiting artists with a new exhibition every two months. Having previously shown a charming series of small autumnal paintings in oil, capturing the view from his studio, Tony Tribe returns with twelve small 'Spring Variations' to give his perspective on the Welsh landscape.

A selection of work from each exhibition is available for sale online
