SUMMARY:dot-art Gallery: dot-art: Welsh Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Welsh Landscapes\n\nFriday 18 January – Saturday 2 March\n\nL
 aunching on the 18th January\, the new exhibition at dot-art showcases th
 e work of three painters whose landscape art works are autobiographical re
 presentations of their Welsh heritage and the historical interlinking of N
 orth Wales and Liverpool.\n\nLiverpool’s connection with Wales goes far 
 beyond proximity. Referred to by some as the capital of north Wales\, the 
 impact of the Welsh on Liverpool’s infrastructure\, architecture and eve
 n accent is deep-rooted\, with a long history of Welsh migration instrumen
 tal in expanding the city to include towns such as Anfield and Everton.\n\
 nA key symbol of the Welsh influence is Toxteth’s ‘Welsh Streets’\, 
 built for Welsh workers migrating to the city and fondly named after Welsh
  towns and mountains\; the silhouette of the Clwydian hills visible across
  the river Mersey. This exhibition aims to reflect this historical bond be
 tween Liverpool and Wales\, depicting the appreciation Liverpool has for t
 he beautiful Welsh landscape and the striking topography our neighbouring 
 region provides for us to enjoy and explore.\n\nHuw Lewis-Jones is a prof
 essional artist based in Liverpool with roots in Dolgellau\, North Wales. 
 Huw finds inspiration in the beauty of rural north Wales and his home in s
 outh Snowdonia. Painting in impasto layers\, he demonstrates rich texture 
 carving out the magnitude of Welsh mountains and skilfully layering colour
  to recreate the dramatic physical details of the landscape.\n\nSusan Will
 iams’ practice reflects the extraction and quarrying processes that hav
 e impacted and altered the appearance of the North Wales landscape over ti
 me. Mainly working around The Great Orme\, Parys Mountain and Snowdonia re
 gions\, the generous planes of colour elicit movement and pattern across t
 he canvas. Her abstracts are constructed from layers of painting\, drawing
 \, and print using local organic and mineral pigments overlaid with precio
 us metals.\n\nDorothy Benjamin was born in New Zealand where she complete
 d a Fine Arts degree at Auckland University before moving to Britain. Doro
 thy loves to explore the different landscapes strung along the Welsh coast
 \; a palette of earthy browns and oranges capturing the quiet intensity of
  the landscape. Her fascination of heavy\, foreboding skies evokes a visce
 ral response in each of her signature oil pieces.\n\nThis exhibition start
 s on Friday 18 January and runs to Saturday 2 March. Entry is free and all
  are welcome.
