MA Peintio

Rwy’n baentiwr o Gaergybi, ar Ynys Môn, ac ers dau ddegawd rwyf wedi bod yn creu cyfres barhaus o baentiadau wedi’u hysbrydoli gan y tirlun lleol, yn enwedig Môr Iwerddon a phorthladd arfordirol Caergybi. Mae fy mhaentiadau diweddar wedi archwilio’r berthynas rhwng monoprintio a phaentio, gan gyfuno rhinweddau hylifol ac anrhagweladwy monoprintio â’r prosesau mwy bwriadol o baentio.

Rwyf wedi dechrau mwynhau gweithio ar bapur, gan fod wyneb y paent yn newid ac yn datgelu gweadau newydd, ac rwy’n cael fy nenu’n arbennig gan uniongyrchedd y weithred o wneud marc. Boed yn gweithio ar leoliad neu yn yr ystafell stiwdio, rwy’n ymateb i symudiad a newidiadau lliw Môr Iwerddon, gan geisio amsugno a chyfieithu’r argraffiadau newidiol hyn i’m gwaith.

Mae fy ymchwil diweddar wedi archwilio dylanwad seicoddaearyddol morlun a thirlun Cymru, thema sydd wedi dod yn fwyfwy amlwg yn fy mhaentiadau. Dechreuais fy addysg gelf ffurfiol gyda Diploma Sylfaen mewn Celf a Dylunio yng Ngholeg Menai (2003–04), cyn cwblhau BA (Anrh) mewn Celf Gain ym Mhrifysgol Glyndŵr (Coleg Menai) rhwng 2004 a 2009.

Stuart Burne
MA Painting

I am a painter from Holyhead, on the Isle of Anglesey, and for the past two decades I have been making a sustained series of paintings inspired by the local landscape, in particular the Irish Sea and the coastal port of Holyhead. My recent paintings have explored the relationship between monoprinting and painting, combining the fluid, unpredictable qualities of monoprinting with the more deliberate processes of painting. I have begun to enjoy working onto paper, as the surface of the paint changes and reveals new textures, and I am particularly drawn to the immediacy of mark making. Whether working on location or in the studio, I am attentive to the movement and colour changes of the Irish Sea, seeking to absorb and translate these shifting impressions into my work. My recent research has explored the psychogeographic influence of the Welsh seascape and landscape, a theme that has become increasingly evident in my paintings. I began my formal art education with a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design at Coleg Menai (2003–04), before completing a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Glyndŵr University (Coleg Menai) between 2004 and 2009.
