Elfyn Lewis
Elfyn Lewis’ love of place is a clear strand throughout his work which are, as he describes, ‘layered time after time until the upper layer explodes and transforms from its volcanic creation into a vivid landscape.’
Born in Porthmadog, North Wales, Elfyn Lewis’s distinctive abstract paintings are held in a number of public + private collections. His work has been widely exhibited throughout the UK + worldwide. In 2009 Lewis was awarded the Gold Medal for Fine Art at the National Eisteddfod of Wales + later went on to be named Welsh artist of the year in 2010. His love of place is a clear strand throughout his work which are, as he describes, ‘layered time after time until the upper layer explodes and transforms from its volcanic creation into a vivid landscape.’
Though mostly abstract, the works hint at glimpses and memories of landscape, and they are full of atmospherics: there are shadows and light, wind and rain and electricity are everywhere. But there are internal, psychological atmospherics too: often within the same image the mood darkens, or clears. Contradictory emotions coexist; the present overlays but cannot obliterate past memories.
