ORIANE PIERREPOINT

Oriane is a young Portraitist, working and living in South Wales with her studio in Newport. Working primarily in pastels and oil paints, she not only tries to achieve an accurate likeness of her subjects, but treats each portrait as an intense exploration of tone, colour and composition. Having attained a first-class degree in Fine Art from Oxford Brookes University, Oriane is on the road to establishing herself as a fully-fledged portraitist, balancing commissioned work with other self-motivated paintings.

ORIANE PIERREPOINT

Mae Oriane yn bortreadwr ifanc, sy’n gweithio ac yn byw yn Ne Cymru o'i stiwdio yng Nghasnewydd. Gan weithio'n bennaf gyda phasteli a phaent olew, mae nid yn unig yn ceisio sicrhau tebygrwydd cywir â'i thestunau, ond mae'n trin pob portread fel archwiliad dwys o dôn, lliw a chyfansoddiad. Ar ôl ennill gradd dosbarth cyntaf mewn Celf Gain o Brifysgol Brookes Rhydychen, mae Oriane ar ei ffordd i sefydlu ei hun fel portreadwr medrus, gan gydbwyso gwaith a gomisiynwyd â phaentiadau hunan-gymhellol eraill.

BETH WILKS

Beth Wilks is a teacher and visual artist who works mainly through the medium of papercutting. She enjoys this technique as the work is intricate and detailed which contrasts with the naïve and simplistic appearance of papercuts. She also finds it very satisfying, and sometimes challenging to produce a piece of work where all elements are joined in a continuous line. Beth’s work is created the old-fashioned way using a scalpel. She enjoys playing with elements of art which are juxtaposed, such as creating something mundane in a delicate or surprising way, and she also likes to include elements of humour in her work.

Beth is inspired by the variety of fragments which come together to make us who we are such as places, words, music and people of significance, combined with a good dollop of nostalgia and a hint of the ridiculous. Her work often features popular culture, and being a proud Newportian, specifically Newport culture, which is a breed all of its own!

BETH WILKS

Mae Beth Wilks yn athro ac artist gweledol sy'n gweithio'n bennaf trwy gyfrwng torri papur. Mae hi'n mwynhau'r dechneg hon gan fod y gwaith yn gymhleth ac yn fanwl sy'n cyferbynnu â golwg naïf a syml toriadau papur. Mae hi hefyd yn cael boddhad mawr o gynhyrchu darn o waith lle mae pob elfen yn cael ei huno mewn llinell barhaus, ac weithiau'n ei weld yn heriol. Mae gwaith Beth yn cael ei greu y ffordd henffasiwn gan ddefnyddio fflaim. Mae hi'n mwynhau chwarae gydag elfennau o gelf sy'n cael eu cyferbynnu, fel creu rhywbeth di-nod mewn ffordd gywrain neu annisgwyl, ac mae hi hefyd yn hoffi cynnwys elfennau o hiwmor yn ei gwaith.

Mae Beth wedi'i hysbrydoli gan yr amrywiaeth o ddarnau sy'n dod at ei gilydd i'n gwneud ni pwy ydyn ni fel llefydd, geiriau, cerddoriaeth a phobl o arwyddocâd, ynghyd â thalp da o hiraeth ac elfen o’r chwerthinllyd. Mae ei gwaith yn aml yn cynnwys diwylliant poblogaidd, ac fel dinesydd balch o Gasnewydd, diwylliant Casnewydd yn benodol, sy'n unigryw iawn!

MARION CHEUNG

Marion is a mixed media artist based in Newport. Her work explores the emotional resonance of landscapes, blending memory with the experience of nature. Creating art has helped her through challenging times, resulting in a passion to share her skills with other people. Marion believes in the transformational power of making art and personal development.

Marion’s inspiration comes from abstract expressionist painting, a process of 'way-finding' - responding to marks, shapes and colours on the surface intuitively. She is inspired by the Japanese idea 'wabi-sabi' – celebrating the beauty of imperfection. Using a combination of mixed-media, mono-print, collage and different paint applications, she creates rich, layered surfaces in harmonised colours that invite viewer interaction.

Marion collects found objects and patterns, observing her surroundings, drawing on location, allowing the environment to inform her artistic choices. Through her work, she aims to engage viewers offering a calming, yet energising experience inspired by Welsh landscapes and the natural world.

MARION CHEUNG

Mae Marion yn artist cyfryngau cymysg sydd wedi'i lleoli yng Nghasnewydd. Mae ei gwaith yn archwilio atsain emosiynol tirweddau, gan gyfuno cof â'r profiad o natur. Mae creu celf wedi ei helpu drwy gyfnodau heriol, gan arwain at frwdfrydedd i rannu sgiliau gyda phobl eraill. Mae Marion yn credu yng ngrym trawsnewidiol gwneud celf a datblygiad personol.

Daw ysbrydoliaeth Marion o baentio mynegiadol haniaethol, proses o 'ganfod ffordd' – gan ymateb i farciau, siapiau a lliwiau ar yr wyneb yn reddfol. Rwy'n cael fy ysbrydoli gan y syniad Siapaneaidd 'wabi-sabi' – dathlu harddwch amherffeithrwydd. Gan ddefnyddio cyfuniad o gyfryngau cymysg, printiau mono, collage a chymwysiadau paent gwahanol, mae hi'n creu arwynebau cyfoethog haenog mewn lliwiau wedi'u cysoni sy'n denu sylw’r gynulleidfa.

Mae Marion yn casglu gwrthrychau a phatrymau a ganfuwyd, gan arsylwi ar ei hamgylchedd, tynnu ar leoliad, a chaniatáu i'r amgylchedd lywio ei dewisiadau artistig. Trwy ei gwaith, ei nod yw ennyn diddordeb cynulleidfaoedd gan gynnig profiad tawel, ond egnïol wedi'i ysbrydoli gan dirweddau Cymru a'r byd naturiol.
