PICTURED at the opening of the new art exhibition at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, Grahame Hurd-Wood: A Personal Retrospective are Deputy Mayor, Clr. Tish Rossiter, trustee Hywel Thomas, the artist Grahame Hurd-Wood, the artist's brother Philip Hurd-Wood (who opened the show), Tenby Mayor, Clr. Sue Lane, and chairman of the trustees, David Hughes.
The exhibition features over 40 works by Grahame, both current and retrospective, as well as works by his father, E. G. Hurd-Wood,, whose pictures reveal a strong artistic talent obviously inherited by his son.
After achieving MA at the Royal Academy, Grahame moved to Pembrokeshire in the 1980s.
Since that time, Grahame has painted and exhibited in the county whilst maintaining a London presence, running several one-man exhibitions there. He has also exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
During the aftermath of the Great Storm of 1987, the National Trust commissioned Grahame to paint the altered landscape and they later presented one of these pictures to HRH The Prince of Wales.
Grahame works in situ, battling the elements to create his works.
He says his objective is to 'make something of the moment' and the works on show at the museum certainly prove his ability to do this.
The show was opened on Friday by Grahame's brother, Philip, who is himself involved in the arts, being an actor and voice-over artist.
The exhibition, featuring many works on sale, runs until Sunday, October 12.
