Cynhaliwyd Digwyddiad Bore Agored Hyfryd gyda'r Artist Jenna Murphy
Cynhaliodd oriel Cyngor Bro Morgannwg, yr Oriel Gelf Ganolog, ddigwyddiad Cwrdd â'r Artist gyda Jenna Murphy ar fore 3 Chwefror 2024.
Croesawyd yr ymwelwyr i'r oriel gan yr artist i'r arddangosfa Bywyd mewn Lliw. Mynychodd y Cynghorydd Rhiannon Birch a siaradodd â Jenna am y technegau a'r ysbrydoliaeth y tu ôl i'w gwaith.
Dwedodd y Cynghorydd Birch; "Fel Cyngor, ein nod yw cefnogi artistiaid newydd a sefydledig ar bob cam o'u gyrfaoedd. Rydym yn falch iawn o fod yn cynnal arddangosfa unigol gyntaf Jenna ac yn gobeithio y bydd hyn yn mynd â hi i gam nesaf ei gyrfa."
Mae gan Jenna radd mewn golygu ffilm a threuliodd tua deng mlynedd yn Llundain yn gweithio yn y diwydiant teledu a ffilm. Dechreuodd ei gyrfa baentio dan ddylanwad ei chariad at ffilm. Yn ystod pandemig COVID y daeth delweddaeth anifeiliaid lliwgar Jenna yn fyw a thrwy hynny y cynhyrchwyd arddangosfa amryliw fywiog.
Mae'r arddangosfa ar agor tan Ddydd Sadwrn 24 Chwefror rhwng Dydd Llun a Dydd Gwener 9am - 4.30pm a Dydd Sadwrn 9am - 3.30pm. I gael rhagor o wybodaeth, ewch i Oriel Gelf Ganolog (bromorgannwg.gov.uk)
A Lovely Open Morning Event was held with Artist Jenna Murphy
The Vale of Glamorgan Council’s gallery, Art Central, held a Meet the Artist event with Jenna Murphy on the morning of the 3 February 2024.
The visitors to the gallery were welcomed by the artist to the Life in Colour exhibition. Cllr Rhiannon Birch attended and met Jenna who spoke with her about the techniques, and inspiration behind her work.
Councillor Birch remarked; “As a Council, we aim to support new and established artists at all stages of their careers. We are delighted to be hosting Jenna’s first solo exhibition and hope this will take her to the next phase of her career.”
Jenna has a degree in film editing and spent some ten years in London working in the TV and Film industry. She began her painting career influenced by her love of film. It was during COVID that Jenna’s colourful, animal imagery came to life thus producing, a vibrant multi-colour exhibition.
The exhibition is open until Saturday 24 February Monday – Friday 9am – 4:30pm and Saturday’s 9am – 3:30pm. For more information please visit Art Central Gallery (valeofglamorgan.gov.uk)

“The loss in this work encompasses many things: the loss of autonomy in the face of the slavers; the loss of dignity and the loss of life. But there is also the loss of whole generations, snatched from their homeland and transported far away, to experience suffering and unimaginable cruelty.” Emma Geliot Art Journalist

Project manager and contributing artist
Inga Burrows talks about the origin of the At a Loss Project…
“Deciding what to do with the material possessions belonging to a lost loved one can be overwhelming for many of us, regardless of how much time has passed and in what circumstances our loved one died.
As the one female amongst my siblings, I took charge of the sifting through my mother’s clothes, her hats, glasses, crockery, underwear, hairbrushes, jewellery, bedding etc. Seeing her belongings laid out on her living room floor and deliberating over what to hold onto and what to let go of, the heaps of my mother’s stuff morphed into art materials before my eyes, my imagination activated.
How might I use her things to make something that would allow me to make sense of our relationship? This question led me to wonder how many other artists there might be elsewhere in the world who have felt creatively inspired to utilise their lost loved one’s possessions as material for art making. It is my curiosity in addressing this question that gave rise to the At a Loss project.”

The At a Loss Project has been created by Inga Burrows, and is co-curated with Tracey Harding, the gallery manager of Art Central.
Inga is an artist-filmmaker/educator whose practice over the past three decades has taken her into creative collaborations with workplace communities, interdisciplinary research collaborations with colleagues, whilst also continuing to pursue her interest in making feminist films for the cinema screen.
The idea for the exhibition was formed after the death of Inga’s mother: as she sorted the things left behind, Inga began to wonder whether other artists feel creatively inspired to utilise their lost loved one’s possessions as material for art making.
