This exhibition brings together artists who have shown widely in the UK and abroad, and though sharing some previous connections, are showing together for the first time.

These works begin with, and respond to, a wide variety of sources and prompts. From hurried doodles to overheard remarks, from a detail from Cezanne, to geometric pattern to ink stains or the transformation of a previously abandoned work.
Experience is recorded, translated, ploughed over. An arm becomes a curve, a lake becomes a vibrating jelly of light, a painted surface becomes a painted sculpture, a snippet of remembered conversation becomes … a clip-on earring seen too close.
Idea becomes paint. Paint becomes form. Form becomes idea. The artists are making up their own rules as they go along, until something sticks, and sizzles.

“If all goes well, the painting talks back; in the final instance, that is probably what remains so endless, and endlessly fascinating” -Erin Lawlor

Arcadecardiff is open Wednesday - Saturday 12:30 - 17:30
Show on until Saturday 14/11/15.

Mae'r arddangosfa hon yn dwyn ynghyd artistiaid sydd wedi dangos yn eang yn y DU a thramor, ac er bod rhannu rhai cysylltiadau blaenorol, maen’t yn dangos ei gilydd am y tro cyntaf.

Mae'r gwaith yn ddechrau, ac ymateb i, mae amrywiaeth eang o ffynonellau a awgrymiadau. O rols brysiog i sylwadau glywed, o fanylion gan Cezanne, i batrwm geometrig i staeniau inc neu trawsnewid o waith wedi'u gadael yn flaenorol.
Mae profiad yn cael ei gofnodi, cyfieithu, ac aredig drosodd. Braich yn dod yn gromlin, llyn yn dod yn jeli dirgrynol o olau, arwyneb paentio yn dod yn cerflun paentio, snipet o sgwrs cofio sy’n dod ... clustws clip-on yn ei gweld yn rhy agos.
Syniad yn dod yn paent. Paent yn dod yn ffurflen. Ffurflen yn dod yn syniad. Mae'r artistiaid yn gwneud eu rheolau eu hunain wrth iddynt fynd ymlaen, nes bod rhywbeth yn sislo ac ffyn.

"Os bydd popeth yn mynd yn dda, mae'r paentiad yn sgyrsio yn ôl; yn y lle olaf, mae'n debyg bod yr hyn s’yn parhau i fod mor ddi-ddiwedd, ac yn ddi-ddiwedd diddorol." -Erin Lawlor

Mae Arcadecardiff ar agor Dydd Mercher - Dydd Sadwrn 12:30 - 17:30
Mae'r sioe yn gorffen 14/11/15
