| In 1999 he exhibited at the Humphries Gallery, San Francisco; in 2000 he had the Millennium exhibition on at Tenby Museum and Art gallery; in 2001 at the Mall Gallery, London, at the National Museum and Gallery of Wales, Cardiff in 2003, and in 2004 at MOMA, Y Tabernacl, Machynllyth. For the last three years he has shown at the Euro-Celtic exhibition at L’Orient, Brittany. He has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally and his work is represented in many public and private collections in the United Kingdom and abroad. He lives and works near Swansea, South Wales. John Uzzell Edwards’ work is to do with Pure Painting, not picture making, and is driven by an exploration of Celtic forms. He is inspired by Celtic crosses and stone inscriptions, mediaeval tiles, and the lettering and carpet pages of holy books and ancient manuscripts. The main inspiration for the very recent paintings has come from the St. Teilo’s Bible, which was made in Wales after the time of the Lindisfarne Bible and before the Book of Kells. 'From 1985 I was awarded a Welsh Arts Council Travel Grant to study 'Standing Stones' throughout Europe, I have worked on a series of paintings and drawings which are totally connected. The first standing stone I painted was the 'Llywel Stone' which is now in the British Museum. This was followed by a series of paintings based on the imagery from the 'Standing Stones' throughout Wales. The imagery and the feelings expressed in these paintings seemed to relate to the poetry of RS Thomas, and particularly the poem 'Welsh landscape' and the lines - To live in Wales is to be conscious At dusk of the spilled blood That went to the making of the wild sky RS Thomas Early in 1996 I was commissioned by the Shakespeare Institute, Stratford upon Avon, to paint any Shakespearean charcter. I chose Owain Glyndwr and the statement by Glyndwr from 'King Henry IV' - When I was born the earth did shake The two quotations above are often written directly on the paintings. In August 1997 I visited Neath Abbey and there in the large hall I found a most wonderful medieval tiled floor from the 12th Century; the subject matter was hunting and jousting. The 'jousting' imagery seemed to relate to a previous 'Warrior' series, and has inspired a whole new series of works. They appear to be all about 'Painting' and not 'Picture Making'. They seem to relate to manuscripts I have studied in Ireland and Wales. They seem to weave and meander like a story from the 'Mabinogion', a Welsh knot, or a piece of penllion music. Statement taken from the catalogue of The Millennium Exhibition at the Tenby Museum.'
