CATRIN LLWYD EVANS

Gan weithio'n bennaf ar raddfa lai, mae paentiadau Catrin Llwyd, yn aml olew a dyfrlliw a gouache ar bapur, wedi'u hadeiladu o luniadau o fywyd, dychymyg a delweddaeth a geir. Trwy'r cyfarfyddiadau hyn, mae darnau amrywiol yn cael eu haildrefnu i ddod yn lleoedd a digwyddiadau credadwy gan ganiatáu i naratifau posibl ddigwydd. Er gwaethaf absenoldeb amlwg pobl o fewn y gwaith, mae yna atgofion o bresenoldeb dynol. Mae Llwyd Evans yn ymdrin â'i phroses o beintio fel arfer ymchwiliol lle mae lliw wedi aros yn bwysigrwydd cyson ac mae hi'n chwarae gyda'r syniad bod peintio'n dod yn fath o adrodd straeon.

Working predominantly on a smaller scale, Catrin Llwyd’s paintings, often oils and watercolour and gouache on paper, are constructed from drawings from life, imagination and found imagery. Through these encounters, various fragments are rearranged to become plausible places and happenings allowing for potential narratives to occur. Despite the obvious absence of people within the work, there are reminders of the human presence. Llwyd Evans approaches her process of painting as an investigative practice where colour has remained a constant importance and she plays with the idea that painting becomes a form of storytelling.

Catrin Llwyd Evans’ small scale paintings, often oils + watercolours, investigates + challenges our sense of place + belonging.

The Uk Government Art Collection recently acquired multiple works by Catrin Llwyd Evans for the national collection.
My work is driven by an intuitive fascination with place and nature, often depicting seemingly empty buildings, wintry forests, and the luminous presence of the full moon. Through painting, I seek to explore what is unseen—something just beyond the tangible—allowing space for multiple narratives to emerge. Working from life and my immediate surroundings, I capture the spontaneity of the moment while also observing the passage of time, returning to familiar places again and again to witness their subtle transformations. - Catrin Llwyd Evans
