Shani Rhys James: The Rivalry of Flowers

Watch an interview with Shani on BBC 4 Wednesday 13th of November at 20:30.

"Shani Rhys James is an extraordinary painter. Simply in terms of her command of the medium of oil paint, whether worked on the tiniest or the largest scale, she is remarkable at once for the richness of the surface she achieves by it and for the deceptive ease and assurance in her handling of it. She is a natural, unforced, unself-conscious expressionist. Immediately recognisable as entirely her own, her work is nevertheless devoid of all affectation or mannerism..." William Packer

Shani Rhys James is one of Wales’ best loved and respected painters. This exhibition shows new paintings, many large–scale, as well as premiering an installation work which  builds on the 3D ’automata’ sculptures which the artist has made in recent years.
