COURTYARD GALLERY

Wales Life

The new exhibition in the Courtyard Gallery at the National Botanic Garden of Wales is a collection of stunning photographs of the Tywi Valley.

‘Wales Life’ is the title of this collection of breath-taking images which have been taken by local designer, graphic artist and photographer Julian Nelmes.

Julian lives in Llanarthne and has worked for various world-wide companies. So he’s very pleased to have an exhibition in his own backyard.

“The pictures are of the wonderful Tywi Valley which is, I’ll admit, much-photograophed. But some are taken from rather more unusual angles. People will recognise many of the view straight away – the marvellously moody misty mornings, the stupendous sunsets and gorgeous scenery – but I’ve tried to do a little more that just picture-postcard views.”

Each image is one of a limited edition of 50 and all the pictures are for sale.

Julian has lived in Llanarthne for the past nine years and has built up a large Welsh client base for his creative services.

This collection demonstrates Julian’s ability for natural composition and subject matter and his own personal interest of the dramatic scenery in and around the Tywi Valley. All the images are ‘naturally captured’ and have not been subjected to computer enhancements.

 

ANTHONY RICHARDS

In the Seasons Restaurant is an exhibition of work by Anthony Richards.

Ammanford-born Anthony studied wildlife illustration at Dyfed College of Art, Carmarthen, from 1979 to 1983. After graduating, he opened his own studio and gallery in Ammanford in March 1984. Since then, he has developed his own unique and instantly recognisable style of painting.

His subtle use of colour and tone depicting Welsh landscapes and the creatures within it demonstrate not only his technical skill but also a rare talent to express mood and emotion through the use of paint. His work is represented in private and public collections worldwide.

Anthony's Corner House Gallery is in Quay Street, Ammanford, is open Tues-Sat, 10am-1pm, 2pm-5pm www.cornerhouse-gallery.co.uk 01269 594959
