Queen Street Gallery are proud to present at Wales Week London our new virtual exhibition - Origin.
A virtual exhibition of Welsh art by Queen Street Gallery artists working to the theme of who we are, where we came from, and where we want to be . . .
In Welsh art the traditions and sensibilities of our Celtic ancestors frequently surface in contemporary artwork. The media we use and the ways in which we use them are as diverse as our inspirational starting points.
The word Origin opens a wider perhaps philosophical vision. It encourages a more searching enquiry into, amongst other possibilities that inform our work. The origin of our ancient language, the old legends and the more homely family reminiscences, history in its widest sense, all give rise to work that convinces because it is deeply felt.
It can also be a more open vision; our ideas, our work, what are THEIR origins, from where does inspiration come?
The germ of an idea, germination, a seed, a single cell, these are all origins from which the potential for growth is immense, all give rise to work that convinces because it is deeply felt and can relate to past, present, and future, where we are, have been or want to be.
