Jake and Dinos Chapman: My Giant Colouring Book
A Hayward Gallery exhibition from the Southbank Centre, London on behalf of Arts Council England
Saturday 16 October – Saturday 13 November 2010
The Chapman brothers first came to prominence as part of the YBA (young British artists) movement of the 1990s. They featured in the Royal Academy’s seminal 1997 exhibition Sensation, showing a sculptural version of Goya’s disasters of war. Returning to Goya’s work in 2003, they caused outrage for painting their own ghoulish imagery over an original set of etchings.
My Giant Colouring Book returns to this method of working, this time appropriating join-the-dot drawings from a children’s picture book. The naïve innocence of the illustrations triggers a wild outpouring of fantastical imagery far removed from the original dot formations. This series of 21 etchings offers a fascinating introduction to the imaginations of two of Britain’s most inventive and subversive artists.

Ivor Davies
Departure | Ymadawiad
16th January - February 20th 2010
Painter, art historian and activist, Ivor Davies – Vice President of the Royal Cambrian Academy – is one of Wales’ most celebrated artists. He has had over 60 one man shows, exhibiting internationally, including Blast to Freeze: Bristish Artists of the Twentieth Century (France and Germany). In 1966 he helped to organize the Destruction in Art Symposium in London and he was an early member of the activist art movement BECA the 1980s. In 2004 his work was included in Art In The 1960s at the Tate Britain. Much of his work is stimulated by Welsh culture and politics and this show is tailor made for Cardigan. Ivor’s family have their roots in the Cardigan and we are delighted that this exhibition will be the first to open here in the town’s 900th year.
Last day today to see this exhibition!.
