A new exhibition celebrating contemporary Welsh art has opened at the Riverside Gallery in Haverfordwest this month.

The CYFOES: Celf Cymru Heddiw · Contemporary Welsh Art exhibition will showcase a selection of new artworks, all created within the past decade, from the Art Collection at the National Library of Wales.

The exhibition will include oils, sculptures and mixed media works, and will include works by both young and established artists. The majority of works are by female artists.

Exhibition highlights include: Dannedd Dodi by Anya Paintsil;HorseHead by Dr Adéọlá Dewis; Blodeuwedd by Natalia Dias; and Moelni Maith by Lisa Eurgain Taylor.

Rhodri Llwyd Morgan, Chief Executive of the National Library of Wales said: “The Library is home to over 60,000 works of art, and it is essential that we share as many as possible with the public. Our gallery at the Riverside Library enables us to share them with audiences beyond our site in Aberystwyth.

“The contemporary works in this exhibition are an opportunity for us to show how we continue to collect to ensure that the collection reflects contemporary Wales.”

Mari Elin Jones, Interpretation Officer at the National Library of Wales said: “We are glad of this opportunity to share a special selection of works of art by some of Wales' leading contemporary artists and extremely proud to be able to share so many works by female artists. The aim of the exhibition is to celebrate the richness of contemporary art in Wales and its continued vitality in interpreting the world today.”

Events will also be held to coincide with the exhibition.

Showing alongside the CYFOES exhibition is the permanent exhibition ‘Pembrokeshire: Past and Present‘ - focusing on the history, culture and landscape of the county.

Both exhibitions will run until Saturday, October 11.
