Aled Simons | The Shipwreck 14 - 29 January 2012
Private View 7pm, Friday 13 January Centering around a collective perception and experience of past, present and future, ‘The Shipwreck’ is a collection of found discarded household doors. These universally recognisable features create corridors and pathways, the evidence of their previous lives form a landscape of universal space, history and memories. Swansea-based Aled Simons was the winner of Welsh Artist of the Year Mixed Media Award 2011. He is predominantly known for his use of collage, screen print, digital media, musical performance and humour to explore the converging of the unfamiliar within the familiar.

Keith Bayliss | The Enclosed Garden 4 February – 24 March 2012 Private View 3pm, Saturday 4 February to be opened by Sally Moss For this exhibition, Keith Bayliss will create a site- specifi c environment containing half life size fi gurative constructions in painted tissue and wood, large scale paintings and a sound landscape as an integral and complementary part of the environment. Swansea- born artist Keith Bayliss responds to several themes that have occupied his artwork for some time, the
themes of Love, Loss and Need. In a society that has moved away from individual and collective use of places of religious celebration and personal contemplation, we see a daily increase in make-shift memorials to lost loved ones and mass emotional responses to the loss of national 'personalities'. Keith has relished the opportunity to use Mission Gallery, a former place of worship and self-exploration, to examine our need for the spiritual and create a parallel with his art practice.
