Description:
Tenby-born artist Rachel Rasmussen is looking forward to staging her first ever debut solo exhibition in Tenby at the seaside town’s Museum and Art Gallery. <br/>Daughter to Christine and Peter Brown, Rachel’s inspiration started at school. She invites her old art teachers from Ysgol Greenhill and St Teilos, and any others who knew her growing up as a child, to the exhibition, on display from May 3 to June 16.<br/>“I’m so excited to finally share my artwork in such a professional platform, in a beautiful historic spot, Tenby Museum and Art Gallery,” said Rachel. <br/>“I visited the museum many times as a child; overlooked the best beach I played on every summer growing up. We’d run from school straight to the beach and if it started raining we’d either run to the Dennis cafe or take a trip to the museum. <br/>“It’s so nice to finally hold a special exhibition in such a special place. That’s why it’s called ‘Tenby Treasures, Nostalgic Brushstrokes’.”<br/>‘Tenby Treasures: Nostalgic Brushstrokes’ will mark Rachel’s first solo exhibition in her home town of Tenby.<br/>Rachel’s work is a reflection of what she loves most about nature. Painting seascapes and landscapes, capturing dramatic skies, evocative reflections with attention to detail. Recently, painting pebbles has become a trademark of hers.<br/>Rachel, who was born and brought up in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, became a self-taught artist at an early age. Drawing from the beauty on her doorstep, Rachel loves to paint the South Wales coastline. She hopes to create a feeling of nostalgia for those who view her work.<br/>Rachel now resides in Cardiff, with her husband and four children. As well as being a full-time mother, she chases spare time painting, teaching classes and exhibiting her work. She took part in the Channel 5 series Watercolour Challenge. Last Christmas she returned to Tenby to hold two paint-along sessions, one for adults and one for the whole family.<br/>You can meet Rachel and talk about her work at the preview evening, May 11, 6-7pm.

_channatip-chanvipava-the-sound-of-many-waters.webp "Coinciding with the Venice Art Biennale 2024, Roman Road presents a solo exhibition curated by Marisa Bellani dedicated to the artist Channatip Chanvipava. Titled “The Sound of Many Waters”, the show features eight new works that explore the notions of fixed identities, belonging and subjective memory. The exhibition is on view at Dimora ai Santi, Calle Larga Giacinto Gallina, Canneregio 6381, 30121, Venezia, and runs until May 27, 2024.<br/><br/>Channatip Chanvipava: The Sound of Many Waters. Venice (Italy), April 16, 2024.<br/><br/>Press text (excerpt):<br/><br/>Aligning with this year's Biennale theme 'Foreigners Everywhere’, Bellani turns to water as a powerful reference to address the concepts of queer identity and connection in a divided world. These are vibrantly expressed in Chanvipava’s work which navigates queer sensibilities with immense power and emotion. Water, in this instance, becomes a symbol of both connection and division, resonating with the complexities of queer identity.<br/><br/>Based in London, Channatip Chanvipava is a self-taught painter who embarked on his artistic journey after a degree in Economics, driven by an enduring passion for art cultivated since a young age. His unique style, marked by distinctive and bold brushstrokes inspired by the impressionists, seamlessly oscillates between abstraction and figuration. Notably, Chanvipava's compositions are characterized by layered, thick, and vibrant paint textures distinguished by vertical lines outlining forms. His organic and meditative artistic process relies on intuition and fragments of memory, pieced together to create a ‘tapestry’ of recollections. He navigates through colour as a vehicle to express form, bringing to light moments of reflection, contemplation and liberation. Without employing preliminary sketches or physical references, he paints directly on canvas and relies solely on memory and his acute understanding of space and depth.")
