Ceri Pritchard

Mae cael eich magu gan rieni sy’n artistiaid a wedi cael mwynhau bywyd cyfnewidiol ac amrywiol wedi golygu y fod Ceri Pritchard wedi bod á man cychwyn unigryw. Er iddo dreulio blynyddoedd lawer yn byw a gweithio yn Ffrainc, yr Unol Daleithiau a Mecsico, mae Ceri wedi cadw cysylltiadau cryf - corfforol ac emosiynol - â Chymru.

Dywed Ceri o'i waith:

Mae eiconograffeg fy mhaentiadau - sy'n deillio o'r cyffredin domestig - yn ymateb i hurtrwydd bywyd modern. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys materion byd-eang cyfredol fel y pandemig presennol a’n planed yn gorboethi. Mae angerdd obsesiynol dyn am dechnoleg a chynnydd yn ysgogi fy ngeirfa weledol. Mae tensiynau heb eu datrys ac ymdeimlad o ddryswch, dadleoli ac anesmwythyd yn ganolog i'm gwaith. Mae natur baradocsaidd paentio, proses â all gynnwys oriau o waith unigol i gynrychioli amrantiad unigol o brofiad byw, yn rhoi cyfleoedd imi fynd i'r afael â thrawma dwfn ac adfer atgofion cudd.

Being brought up by artist parents and enjoying a changing and varied life have given Ceri Pritchard a unique vantage point. Although he spent many years living and working in France, the United States, and Mexico, Ceri has retained strong ties – both physical and emotional – with Wales.

Of his work Ceri says:

The iconography of my paintings – derived from the domestic mundane – responds to the absurdities of modern life. These include current global issues such as the current pandemic and our over heating planet. Man’s obsessive passion for technology and progress stimulate my visual vocabulary. Unresolved tensions and a sense of bewilderment, dislocation and unease are central to my work. The paradoxical nature of painting, a process that can involve hours of solitary work to represent a singular instant of lived experience, provides me with opportunities to address deep-seated traumas and recover hidden memories.
