Artist: Luned Rhys Parri

Artist’s Statement

Luned Rhys Parri is a professional artist whose work is increasingly in demand from private collectors and galleries. In the past she has won numerous awards and has exhibited throughout Wales and further afield, most recently at Oriel Môn and at the Tegfryn Gallery in Beaumaris. She continues to enjoy working as artist-in-residence in various institutions, festivals and schools –experiences which have constantly brought her into contact with different people, and have enriched the work accomplished in the solitude of her studio.

Her recent work has included prominent three-dimensional features. She is at her best handling simple materials like tinfoil, cardboard, paper and wire, which she combines with paint to create images reminiscent of her childhood and her roots in the countryside and towns of Wales. Despite this interest in the three-dimensional, she regards herself as fundamentally a painter, and the next phase in her career may produce a sequence of two dimensional works.
