The annual Life: Full Colour Open Show 2022 celebrates the creativity and talents of Wales based artists. Open from 11 November to 24 December, the exhibition features 38 pieces of artwork by 24 artists from across the country.
This year, artists were asked to submit artwork that was “yn llawn emosiwn” or full of emotion. The work selected explores a wide range of subjects including hiraeth, self-expression, birth, romantic love, fear, and personal trauma. The exhibition is a mixed show featuring acrylic, oil and watercolour paintings, mixed media, ceramics, photography, linocuts and drawings.
Winners were selected by a judging panel consisting of Life: Full Colour founder and owner Sara McKee, artists Louise Morgan RCA and Jane Paice, author DeAnn Bell, and art gallery technician Robert Grose. The selection process was completely anonymous as judges were provided with the artwork image only.
Artists with work featured in the show, include Andrew Jenkin, Angela Rigby Doble, Brenda Chaffer, Carys Anne Hughes, Ceri Leeder, Clarrie Flavell, Dermod Ruddock, Donna Jones, Emma-Jayne Holmes, Grace Kentish, Gwyn Parry, Helen Taylor, Jekaterina Craciun, Katy Bott, Keeley Robinson, Mandy Lane, Nicola Rogers, Paul Rickard, Peter Mattinson, Peter Jepson, Peter Whitehead, Philip McMullen, Ruth Petersen, and Vivian Tozer Cockrill.
Sara McKee, Life: Full Colour founder, said: “We have a wealth of creative talent across Wales and we’re delighted to be able to give artists a platform to share their work. This year’s show is full of emotion with every piece of art telling a story. From tales of dereliction and degeneration to the celebration of new life and hope for the future, the artworks touch on every aspect of the human condition. Visit us at the yellow gallery in Caernarfon for a true celebration of Welsh art.”
At the conclusion of the show, one outstanding artist will be awarded the Chairman’s Prize while a second artist will be given the Emerging Artist Award, which will include an eight-week artist residency at the Life: Full Colour gallery.
