THE new exhibition at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, entitled 'Transfiguration Part 1', is a touring exhibition that focuses on the evolution of landscape and its role in the modern world. All the work featured has been made en plein air during joint visits to the area by the artists. Both the rural and urban landscapes of the surrounding areas are explored with intimate and honest portrayals by the artists. Scenes vary from the elevated St. Catherine's Island to the local multi-storey car park. Dan Llywelyn Hall, 27, was born in Cardiff. He grew up with regular trips to the area and recalls imagery from his childhood. His bold paintings, made in both oil and gouache, are loaded with expression and hint at immediacy - some works are indeed made within hours. Raphael Pepper, 28, was born in Essex and made the train journey with his family on occasion to enjoy the popular seaside resort. Pepper's work has a slightly more pensive approach and is made in his intensely observed style with crayon on paper. The exhibition runs from tomorrow (Saturday) until April 13. The museum is open from 10 am to 5 pm, with last admission at 4.30 pm. There will be an opportunity to meet both the artists on Thursday, April 3, from 12 until 4 pm.
