Oriel Mostyn Gallery

Oriel Mostyn Gallery in its present form opened in 1979 and is the largest independent publicly-funded gallery in Wales. Our main activity is showing Welsh and international contemporary art in a programme of temporary one-person and group exhibitions, each lasting around six weeks. Our audience is very largely a general one and we aim to provide a friendly and welcoming environment in which visitors can discover stimulating art. Consistently high standards have led to Oriel Mostyn’s acknowledgement (by the Arts Council of Wales, Wales Tourist Board and travel guides) as Wales’s leading gallery for contemporary art. The Guardian described Oriel Mostyn as ‘one of the most adventurous contemporary art venues in the [UK]’.

Current Exhibitions

Nicola Kelly / Rebecca Spooner
21 February - 12 March

The second exhibition in the season develops the idea of a nostalgia for the natural. Rebecca Spooner’s installations incorporate the filmed and photographed from various points in history and with a sympathy for a particularly British sense of the natural landscape, its wildlife and histories, and their place in our affections. There is a melancholic longing often associated with old photographs or damaged cine-film, and it animates her installations to surprising effect. Alongside are works by Nicola Kelly, for whom the ‘found’ photograph is often a starting point in a process resulting in pieces imbued with the emotive.

Previous Exhibitions

Gawu
El Anatsui
22 November 03 - 7 January 04

From Ghana but living in Nigeria since 1975, El Anatsui is one of Africa’s most powerful contemporary artists. His work dwells on the continent’s history, drawing simultaneously on traditional African idioms and contemporary western art. Having worked over the years in paint, wood, clay and metal, his recent works use large quantities of discarded everyday objects to comment on contemporary west African culture, history and society.
