\nLocws International presents a new commission by artist duo Robert Bermingham and Richard Robinson to coincide with the Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts: the \u2018British Empire Panel Project\u2019
\n
\nUsing the British Empire Panels as their inspiration, Bermingham and Robinson have transformed the entrance windows to the Brangwyn Hall into a giant kaleidoscope of light and colour, visible both inside and out, day and night, that evokes the energy and life of Sir Frank Brangwyn\u2019s panels held within. This installation brings a new focus of attention upon the panels and by doing so reaffirms their national significance and importance.
\n
\nEach of the three windows corresponds to one of the panels and by using the same colour palette as the originals, Bermingham and Robinson have created a bold design of coloured vinyl pasted directly onto the windows.
\nThis new installation captures the essence of Brangwyn\u2019s original concept and highlights the aspect that brought the British Empire Panels rejection from the House of Lords: his uncompromising vision of the colourful and optimistic nature of Empire. By sharing and working with Brangwyn\u2019s ideals, Bermingham and Robinson have created a contemporary artwork using the very same strength of creative independence and determined artistic vision.
\nArtist, Richard Robinson said \u2018The Brangwyn panels are a hidden treasure in Swansea and we hope that our artwork will encourage the public to see his work. Swansea is very privileged to have them and it has been inspiring to create a response to these magnificent panels.\u2019
\nRobert Bermingham & Richard Robinson work collaboratively, forging a dynamic artistic partnership that has a growing reputation within the contemporary visual arts in Wales. Their work fuses drawing, collage, installation and sculpture in an exciting and innovative way, utilizing new ideas and techniques to create vibrant and dynamic artworks. They have exhibited across the U.K. and were shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2006
\nDates: Open throughout the festival, 3 – 17 October, all day, everyday.
\nLocation: Entrance windows to the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea.

\n Prosiectau Locws 2009 \u2013 Prosiect Celf Newydd i Neuadd Brangwyn, Abertawe<\/strong>
\nCyflwyna Locws Rhyngwladol gomisiwn newydd gan yr artistiaid Robert Bermingham a Richard Robinson i gyd-fynd \u00e2 G_yl Cerdd a Chelf Abertawe: \u2018British Empire Panel Project\u2019
\nGan ddefnyddio Paneli’r Ymerodraeth Brydeinig fel eu hysbrydoliaeth, mae Bermingham a Robinson wedi trawsffurfio ffenestri mynediad Neuadd Brangwyn i galeidosgop o olau a lliw, yn weladwy o’r tu mewn a’r tu allan, ddydd a nos, sy’n adlewyrchu’r egni a’r bywyd ym mhaneli Syr Frank Brangwyn. Daw’r gosodiad hwn \u00e2 chanolbwynt sylw newydd i’r paneli, a thrwy wneud hynny yn atgyfnerthu eu pwysigrwydd a’u harwyddoc\u00e2d cenedlaethol.
\nMae pob un o’r tair ffenest yn cyfateb i un o’r paneli, a thrwy ddefnyddio’r un palet lliwiau a’r gwreiddiol, mae Bermingham a Robinson wedi creu dyluniad trawiadol o finyl lliw wedi’i bastio’n uniongyrchol ar y ffenestri.
\nMae’r gosodiad newydd hwn yn dal hanfod cysyniad gwreiddiol Brangwyn ac yn amlygu’r agwedd a arweiniodd at Dw’r Arglwyddi yn gwrthod Paneli’r Ymerodraeth Brydeinig: ei weledigaeth ddigyfaddawd o natur liwgar ac optimistaidd yr Ymerodraeth. Drwy rannu a gweithio gyda delfrydau Brangwyn, mae Bermingham a Robinson wedi creu gwaith celf cyfoes gan ddefnyddio’r un annibyniaeth greadigol gref a’r weledigaeth gelfydd benderfynol.
\nDywedodd yr artist, Richard Robinson, ‘Mae paneli’r Brangwyn yn drysor cudd yn Abertawe, a gobeithiwn y bydd ein gwaith celf yn annog y cyhoedd i weld ei waith ef. Mae Abertawe’n freintiedig iawn i’w cael ac roedd yn ysbrydoliaeth i greu ymateb i’r paneli ardderchog hyn.
\nMae Robert Bermingham a Richard Robinson yn cydweithio, gan ffurfio partneriaeth gelfydd ddeinamig ag enw da sy’n tyfu yn y celfyddydau gweledol cyfoes yng Nghymru. Mae’u gwaith yn cyfuno arlunio, collage, gosodiadau a cherfluniau mewn ffordd arloesol gyffrous, gan ddefnyddio syniadau a thechnegau newydd i greu gweithiau celf bywiog a deinamig.
\nMaent hefyd wedi arddangos ar draws y DU, ac roeddent ar restr fer Gwobr Arlunio Jerwood yn 2006.
\nDyddiadau: Ar agor drwy gydol yr _yl, 3 – 17 Hydref, drwy’r dydd, bob dydd.
\nLleoliad: Ffenestri mynediad Neuadd Brangwyn, Abertawe.
\nMae Locws Rhyngwladol yn gweithio gydag artistiaid cyfoes rhyngwladol a Chymreig i greu gweithiau a phrosiectau celf weledol newydd sy’n ymateb i ddiwylliant a threftadaeth dinas Abertawe. Gyda chefnogaeth Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, Sefydliad Esm\u00e9e Fairbairn a Dinas a Sir Abertawe.
