THERE are three exhibitions on at Oriel Q, Narberth, until July 10.

Ben Lloyd - Interdomestic Planetary is in the main gallery.

Ben Lloyd was born in Haverfordwest in 1973, attended school in St. Davids, and studied in Carmarthen and Liverpool.

After graduating in 1997, he and four other graduates set up the hub collective inventing and delivering community art projects in Liverpool and the North West.

He went on to be employed by Liverpool Community College as a foundation tutor and to several artist in residence programmes.

In 2008, he graduated with a masters in fine art at Cardiff School of Art. He now lives in Narberth.

It's a colourful and exuberant collection that will make you smile, but on closer inspection provokes questions about the society we live in.

"This is a new body of work that has been developed from January this year. These paintings have been inspired by domesticity; thoughts that occur during domestic chores and how a household item, however banal and everyday, can be a conduit towards reflecting on the way we live and how we are part of a world that cannot be escaped."

In Oriel Fach, ceramicist Jan Lewin-Cadogan shows a lovely collection of beautiful objects. The pieces are hand-built using a white stoneware clay, engobes, stains and oxides.

"My influences and inspiration develop from my observation of the natural world. Through experimentation, I make comparisons of patterns and surfaces enabling me to combine my ideas and nature as one.

"The originality of my work all comes together within the creative process. In the current exhibit, you will find my interpretation of microscopic seeds. Using them as my starting point, I have created forms that do not exist in the natural world, only in my ceramics. These curious and whimsical realities developed organically and intuitively as I worked and it was a delight to watch them grow; each suggesting the beauty, intricacy and mystery of the world around us."

On the stairs, photographer Mike Taylor has a selection of images based on patterns in nature. A keen amateur photographer, he has captured some lovely images.

Oriel Q gallery also has art and poetry books for sale and is open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm.
