Walk & Talk with Stephen West

About

Stephen West is an artist who has lived and worked in rural mid-Wales for nearly forty years. His work has been shown regularly in major galleries in Wales, in various National Eisteddfod Lle Gelf exhibitions and has been shortlisted for many UK prizes and competitions. He has worked in the mediums of painting, sculpture, print and drawing. For this new installation at Mission Gallery in Swansea, Stephen’s large-scale drawings are installed to create a sequence of dramatic images, each a narrative but without telling a story.

Artist sydd wedi byw a gweithio yng nghefn gwlad Canolbarth Cymru ers bron i 40 mlynedd yw Stephen West. Mae ei waith wedi cael ei arddangos yn rheolaidd yn orielau mawr Cymru, mewn arddangosfeydd amrywiol yn Lle Celf yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, ac mae wedi ymddangos ar restr fer nifer o wobrau a chystadlaethau yn y DU. Mae wedi gweithio drwy gyfrwng peintio, cerflunio, print a darlunio. Ar gyfer ei osodwaith newydd yn Oriel Mission, Abertawe, bydd ei ddarluniau, ar raddfa fawr, yn cael eu gosod i greu dilyniant o ddelweddau dramatig, pob un a naratifond heb adrodd stori.
