A unique exhibition, portraying Pembrokeshire with a twist, is set to open in Fishguard at the end of May. 'Alternative Pembrokeshire' brings together four leading artists and their own interpretation of the county that inspires them. The exhibition will take place at the West Wales Arts Centre, Fishguard, from May 28 to June 30, and was the idea of Ian Jacob, an artist from Llangwm. "In this exhibition, we are striving to reinterpret a county that has been well trodden by artists and photographers over the years, and show it in a new and exciting light," he said. "It's Pembrokeshire, but with a twist." For Ian, this exhibition is a major stepping stone. Following a 25-year career in international marketing, he has returned to what he trained in, having studied at the Newport, Cheltenham and Goldsmiths Colleges of Art. The other return for Ian is to his native Pembrokeshire. The joy he has derived from these major life changes is evident in his celebrated and colourful interpretations of the Pembrokeshire landscape. "I am particularly fascinated by the outstanding natural beauty of the countryside around my home and the unusual rock formations of the coast," said Ian. In contrast, Haverfordwest-born photographer David Wilson has been inspired by inland Pembrokeshire and in particular the Preseli hills. In his collection of work, which is predominantly black and white, he has chosen to explore man's impact on the rural landscape. "I wanted to capture the landscape with its man- made infrastructure cutting swathes across it - roads, telegraph poles, derelict farms, dirt tracks. All of these impact upon so much of what we see as we move around the county," said David. "It's been a challenge but I've so enjoyed shooting this collection of work and am really looking forward to exhibiting it." The work of sculptor Sonya Dawn Flewitt, who moved to West Wales in 2002, has been described as 'full of movement and mystery, colour and excitement.' In this exhibition, she has chosen to sculpt the shapes and contours of the landscape in the guise of the female form, creating a distinctive interpretation of the county. The final member of the quartet is North Pembrokeshire-based artist David A. Light, a graduate of the Hornsey School of Art in London. "In this exhibition I am striving to reflect a journey around specific areas, picking up on those elements that form and personalise those areas, be they views, textures, or items," he said.
