Gillian Lowndes (1936–2010) was one of the ceramic world’s most daring, radical and original artists of the post-war generation. Operating on the border territory between fine art and craft, she is renowned for her sensitive investigations of material and process, of serendipity and sculptural form. In view of her avant-garde position, it is surprising that in her lifetime she had notably few solo exhibitions, and that her art is not more widely known and appreciated beyond a network of ceramists, curators, gallerists, critics, collectors and enthusiasts engaged with the crafts and applied arts.

This exciting exhibition will establish the work of Gillian Lowndes more firmly on the visual arts map, and bring her poetic, often unsettling collages to a wider audience.

Roedd Gillian Lowndes (1936–2010) yn un o artistiaid mwyaf beiddgar, radical a gwreiddiol y byd serameg o’r genhedlaeth wedi’r rhyfel. Yn gweithredu ar y tiriogaeth ffiniol rhwng celfyddyd gain a chrefft, mae yn enwog am ei hymchwiliadau sensitif o ddeunydd a phroses, o serendipedd a ffurf cerfluniol. O ystyried ei sefyllfa avant-garde, mae’n syndod iddi gael cyn lleied o arddangosfeydd unigol nodedig yn ystod ei bywyd, a nad yw ei chelfyddyd yn fwy hysbys ac wedi’i werthfawrogi y tu hwnt i rwydwaith o seramegyddion, curaduron, cyfarwyddwyr orielau, beirniaid, casglwyr â’r rhai brwdfrydig sy’n ymwneud â’r crefftau a’r celfyddydau cymhwysol.

Bydd yr arddangosfa gyffrous hon yn sefydlu gwaith Gillian Lowndes yn fwy cadarn ar fap y celfyddydau gweledol, a dod â’i gludweithiau, barddonol ond yn fynych gythryblus, i gynulleidfa ehangach.
