Conversation between Brendan Burns (Artist) and David Alston (Arts Council of Wales)
 

They were in conversation about the work produced by Brendan during his 12 month residency at Oriel Y Parc. The work forms the nucleus of the current exhibition (ceases 17 March 2010) which also includes works selected by Brendan from the National Museums Collection. These works cover English and European painting which have been instrumental in influencing Brendan and include paintings by Spencer, Sutherland, Piper, Prendergast, Hitchins and Boudin.

The audience enjoyed the exchange of dialogue which produced a unique insight into the working mind of an artist.

The event was sponsored by Friends of the Graham Sutherland Collection. The discussion took place in front of several of Brendan's paintings in the main gallery at Oriel Y Parc.
