Exhibition

In collaboration with Queer Direct, and in response to Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings' exhibition In My Room, MOSTYN launches a call for submissions for inclusion in a virtual exhibition of visual artworks in response to the theme ‘My Online Bedroom’.

The relationship to private and public spaces has changed dramatically this past year due to lockdown restrictions, with many aspects of everyday life occurring within the privacy of bedrooms. We invite you to share any form of visual artwork that confronts ideas of privacy, personal identity and representation.

Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings’ first solo institutional exhibition, In My Room, develops the artists’ inquiry into the politics, histories and aesthetics of queer spaces and culture. This inquiry builds on their travels across the UK whilst making ‘UK Gay Bar Directory (UKGBD)’ 2016, a moving image archive of gay bars in the UK made in response to the systematic closure of LGBTQA+ dedicated special spaces during this period. For Quinlan and Hastings, it became apparent through this research that the gay scene caters predominantly to white men.

MOSTYN Open 21 ‘Audience Award’ winner Nick Hornby’s first UK solo exhibition comprises a new series of sculptures.

MOSTYN Open 21 'Exhibition Award' winner Richard Wathen’s solo exhibition comprises a new series of paintings.

Life is like big wave surfing, in the middle of the deep ocean, waiting for the right wave to catch. However it is not that easy to catch the right wave and stay on top of it.

Magwyd Natalia Dias ym Mhortiwgal lle’r oedd y tu mewn i eglwysi yn ymdebygu i oriel gelf. Mae’r ffurfiau, y lliwiau, yr emosiynau a’r symboliaeth wastad wedi bod yn ddylanwad sylfaenol. Fel delweddau cyn-Raffaelaidd a llawer o fytholeg Geltaidd a Groegaidd, mae cerfluniau clasurol Natalia yn canolbwyntio ar y ffigwr benywaidd ynghyd â natur. Mae hi’n edrych ar y fenyw fel rhyfelwr, ffigwr sy’n cyfleu pŵer a hyder, sy’n addasu i amgylchedd sydd bob amser mewn cyflwr o lanw a thrai, ac yn trawsnewid rhwng dynoliaeth, planhigion a bwystfilod.

Join us for Saturday morning coffee and pastries with Tom Frost to open our new exhibition: All Calm on the Surface
Tom Frost is a Carmarthenshire based printmaker and artist. This solo show will feature a range of brand-new screen prints, 3D artworks and much more. With Tom’s influences ranging from folk art, old toys, vintage children’s books, architecture and nature, he hopes to produce objects that people will cherish for many years to come.

FOLD is pleased to present NIGHT SCHOOL a two-person show by Dominic Beattie and Neil Zakiewicz.

Dominic Beattie and Neil Zakiewicz's work typifies a contemporary re-skilling of art practitioners with their shared interest in light industrial practices, such as woodworking and ceramics. Painting is included, but through using mass production methods of block printing and industrial coatings. They have a passion for making generally, regardless of whether the finished products function as sculpture or furniture, abstract painting or decoration.
