"Inspired by Dylan", An art exhibition by Zoe's Ostreme and Swansea Grand Theatre Art Group
"Inspired by Dylan"
An art exhibition by Zoe's Ostreme and Swansea Grand Theatre Art Group
To celebrate Dylan Thomas 100th anniversary Zoe’s Ostreme and Grand Theatre Art Group are exhibiting paintings inspired by Dylan Thomas and his works including Under Milkwood. They have used vintage pages of Dylan Thomas’ text (some of which are from Oxfame Bookshop) to paint on in a form of collage as well as being inspired by his powerful quotes and writings. This has created a exciting collection of paintings that will be intermingled around the bookshop in support of Oxfam.
Jen, one of the artists exhibiting said “ In this exhibition a picture literally paints a thousand words.”
Zoë’s Art Group includes members of professional artist Zoë James-Williams art classes which she teaches at The Ostreme Centre, Mumbles and Swansea Grand Theatre. Zoë is a contemporary figurative artist and the first Artist in Residence in Swansea Grand Theatre. Many of the group also exhibited professionally and are excited to be supporting such a great cause.
“We were delighted to be invited by Oxfam Bookshop to display our Dylan inspired work as it is the perfect compliment and will enable the viewer to see his work in a different light and we are delighted to support Oxfam in any way we can.” says artist Zoë James-Williams.
Many of the artists exhibiting will be present to discuss their work at the Create Night hosts by Oxfam bookshop on June 17th.

Art Work inspired by Dylan Thomas by my art students
In preparation for The Many Faces of Dylan Event my art classes have been inspired by the poet Dylan Thomas and his many wonderful works. Below are just a few, more to come. They have been using mixed media including collage, watercolour, ink, pencil and some of his text. As you can see some really great and inspiring work has been produced.
We are all involved in The Many Faces of Dylan Event in Swansea Maritime Museum in Easter Week. More info to follow
