Terry W Scales
Lightscapes and Landscapes
27th April - 9th May 2015
Oriel Bach, 4 Dunns Lane, Mumbles.
We are proud
to be hosting Terry W Scales most recent exhibition here at Oriel Bach. Terry
has had an illustrious career as an artist spanning from 1966 as a student of
Fine Art Sculpture at Hornsey College of Art to the present day here in
Mumbles.

Terry's
subject matter is broadly colour, light and reflection but his medium has been
diverse to say the least and the work exhibited here though smaller in scale
than some of his previous work retains the dramatic quality of his larger
pieces.
Looking
through the catalogue here in the gallery it would seem strange that Terry's
work would translate to a smaller space like Oriel Bach. Terry's work has been
displayed in public spaces, The Whitechapel Gallery, The Geffrye Museum and at
various major art festivals throughout the UK. Terry formed the Touring Theatre
of Pneumatic Art in the late 70's which created and toured architectural scale,
vinyl inflatable environments which could be both explored by the viewer and
used as performance spaces.

Brightly coloured and labrynthine the structures
were made to be explored and enjoyed as well as being portable sculptures.
Seemingly far from the current work displayed here at Oriel Bach but the same
recurring themes of colour and light can be seen in all of Terry's work.
