</span>“Landscape of First World Problems” examines the contemporary survival
strategies of those living in the first world. He considers both the turmoil
and the banality of these circumstances using large scale drawings, prints and
installation. This work is the culmination of three years spent examining
contemporary life on the fringes of the urban landscape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The work urges the viewer to participate in
dialogues and promotes engagement with some of the social issues affecting a
post religious, post financial crash Britain.</span></i></b></span></div>

that’s my privilege as an artist. I’m drawn to those on the fringes of society;
those in poverty, the immigrant trolley vendor in ‘Totem’ for example –It’s the
survival strategies I’m interested in. ‘Totem’ contrasts the garish face of
western pop consumer culture with the realities of life at the bottom in all
its irony and hypocrisy. He works all day selling grinning cartoon inflatables
and diamante phone covers with FML on them. I want to challenge our daily wants
and problems putting them into a greater context’</span></i></b></span></div>

and gained a Bachelor of the Arts in Fine Art (Painting and Drawing) in 2009.
Since then he has exhibited in many group shows, but this is his inaugural solo
exhibition and we are delighted to give this young talented artist the platform
to show his skills. His observational drawings are so good, and unusual to see
in this digital age where the concept sometimes ignores the craft and skill of
fine art. Witty, poignant studies of the human condition invites the viewer to
reflect on our society and to admire the artist’s ability to communicate this.</span></i></b></span></div>

I'm off to Aberafan Shopping Centre in Port Talbot on Saturday as part of Big Draw 2013. Along with students from Neath Port Talbot College I'll be working in the space for most of the day and discussing varying aspects of drawing so why not pop down and say hello?Geraint Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02210728070208387875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940348377706006567.post-15855045487126704622013-10-18T14:54:00.000-07:002013-10-18T14:54:02.681-07:00'Bingo Hall' framed at The Frame Shop, Pontcanna ready for St David's Hall Winter Exhibition...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Despite the desires of architects and planners, the growth of the built environment happens organically at the will of its inhabitants. This environment is a process, not a fixed state. The exhibition Barnraising and Bunkers looks at our impulse for shelter, and how we choose to build. If Barnraising epitomises collective action and co-operation, Bunkers suggest the opposite, a singular act. Barnraising and Bunkers features work by artists who engage with architectural or physical structures, through their construction and our navigation within them, around them and through them.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
</div>
<br />
The exhibition shows us how we often think of urban and rural being in opposition – the former synonymous with presence and the latter with absence. As our basic need to create shelter gave us our first dwellings, so these clustered to form villages and eventually cities. But urban dreams of utopian living and social cohesion do not always survive the accelerated and fragmented organic growth of the places we inhabit. When the dividing line between public spaces and private spaces is drawn so distinctly society will find ways of redrawing the line – or at least blurring its edges.<br />

<blockquote>
It would be impossible to write about the Wales Artist of the Year show without mentioning Gemma Copp, so let’s start with her prize-winning video, ‘Rising Tides’. The artist, dressed in white, begins by pulling a small boat into the frame, somewhere over Swansea Bay. She sits in the boat and waits for high tide, as the boat rocks and the sea nears. But the sea cannot wholly push the boat away. It is not quite able to take the boat, nor the artist, out to the vast swathes of ocean that act as a metaphor for escape. The video is thirteen minutes long, but this does not mean you should feel obliged to watch this static yet subtle performance for this amount of time. It is a clever piece that acts almost like a moving painting.
And how does the rest of the artwork stand? I can only guess that Jamie Oliver’s kitsch post-apocalyptic escape scene – a young girl implausibly leaving a burnt-out cityscape on the back of a black horse – made the shortlist more because of his keyboard-playing in the Lostprophets. It doesn’t seem likely that the judges took a sudden liking to DeviantArt-inspired works. While the technical skill may be there, the tired subject matter in his painting reminds me of a final project piece from an A-Level art course.
A better interpretation of the same subject matter could be found nearby in Geraint Evans’ ink drawing, ‘Penarth Heights 1′. Having entered the derelict (and now demolished) Billy Banks estate earlier this year, Evans has drawn some of the scenes he found inside, as nature began to overtake the boarded-up flats overlooking Cardiff Bay. In Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, Tyler Durden famously pictures a future in which the reader will ‘climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower,’ predicting that when they look down they ‘will see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.’ Seeing Evans’ drawing, it is far easier to imagine this type of future for our species than Oliver’s highly imaginative yet clichéd depiction.
As a result, it is a pity that the young Evans was overlooked for the better-known name – or a prize at all, for that matter. His drawings are technically excellent, and he has an eye for capturing detail. It is also a pity that this show is in such a venue as the busy foyer of St. David’s Hall. This takes away the viewer’s concentration when attempting to appreciate the art on display – though to be brutally honest, the show had more misses than hits. For a prize with such a grand title, I can only say that this is down to the selectors and judges rather than the state of Welsh art in 2012.

The forest acts as their place of escape and youthful freedom where the three children can play as their imaginations lead the way, this is symbolised by their part animal appearance (bunny ears on the hoody and monkey-like ears of the child on the car). But already there are problems; in the middle of the composition sits a burnt out car probably stolen and abandoned, maybe even by and older sibling and offering a glimpse to where children’s paths could lead. A life which would send them back to the tower block in which they came, thus completing the cycle of social deprivaty which is so readily on display in areas of South Wales. I hope the picture asks; How long can one hold on to the innocence of youth? What does it take for someone to break this cycle? and therefore, are the children’s playful/aggressive behaviour towards the burnt out car an act of defiance against their possible fate or a sign of violent times to come? For me the image is also a distant memory, a fairy-tale portrait of boyish youthfulness and mischief amongst the trees and abandoned joy rides.Geraint Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02210728070208387875noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940348377706006567.post-73531500559355349812012-10-23T11:05:00.001-07:002012-10-23T11:07:10.206-07:00'Pigeon Man' on showing @ the final Tactile Bosch exhibition 'Blowback' 27th October<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As part of Made in Roath Festival, Tactile Bosch Gallery presents a two part exhibition in Milgis Northcote Lane Warehouse...
<div>
‘Naked Lunch’ by Kim Fielding
is an experimental installation of still-moving imagery. dealing with pre-conceived notions of masculinity, the relationship between audience & model is intimate / voyeuristic. It introduces a Naked Cowboy dancing by himself – home alone in a random room in a random house in any city. Whether it’s the Ponderosa or a house in Roath, the image is potent /...abstract while maintaining a mel-a-nomic mixture of tactile movement. Through placement of the object d’erelicta [art], Naked Lunch details the unsustainability of the human condition.
<div>
<div>
and
<div>
'Chip Dinner' by Geraint Evans
An artist caught in the conflict between his day job and art practice, Evans, in an attempt to strike back, responds to the day to day events and surroundings of the chip shop. In this chapel-like installation, he uses drawings, paint and objects to portray a domestic shrine to the forgotten working class bachelor.
