"Cambrian Coast", "Nant y Moch", and "Harlech Castle" by Chris Corish
Although the colour palettes of the artists Chris Corish and John Bourne are very different, both are interested in reducing reality to more simple forms.
"A School in Wales" and "The Voyage" by John Bourne
In the paintings above, the children have escaped from the classroom into a world of play and imagination while the day out on the Llangollen canal has become a voyage into the unknown and the voyagers are about to enter the Underworld.
"An Evening In" by Ceri Pritchard
The plants and curtains in this extraordinary painting seem more alive even than the humans.
