John Selway
Event Information
Description
Gallery Talk with Jon Gower and Philip Nicol 5 - 6pm
The current exhibition celebrates John Selways life and work.
’Vigilant Imagination: Encounters with John Selway' written by Jon Gower, published by Three Imposters, will be launched during the show.
Sadly John Selway died in late 2017. The exhibition at BayArt was planned a long time ago and is consequently not a retrospective. Rather it seeks to reflect what were Johns current (and some of his past) concerns in developing his practice and interests in narrative imagery.
Exhibition continues 23rd January -16th February 2018 Tuesday - Saturday 12 - 5pm

Organiser of John Selway
"The ethos of the space, managed by practicing professional artists, is to catalyse creativity." Nigel Meager
Getting to BayArt: BayArt is located between Cardiff Bay Station (catch train from Cardiff Queen St) and Mermaid Quay (one of the 3 car parks in the Bay area) on Bute St. If you are travelling by bus catch the BayCar to the Millennium Centre ( 1 min walk)
‘During the 10 years of its existence, BayArt has established itself as a prime location for showing art. It is run by artists who understand the work they display. It is not subject to the ideological pressure of a large institution, nor is it dependent on the market for survival, and this has enabled it to develop a position of critical independence, which has been unusual and important during the boom years, and is even rarer and more essential in a period of recession and artistic conservatism.’ Dr Jonathan Clarkson
