AN `uneasy relationship` is how Clive Walley describes the traditional `face-off` between painting and photography. This is what he explores in his intriguing show in Narberth’s Oriel Q Gallery. Clive is looking not so much at film-making as what he can learn from paintings which could move.

Ever since the invention of photography there has been this conflict between the two, and Clive, an engineer turned artist, is exploring the nature and changing predicament of painting, even embracing co-operation with artists working in the field of photography like John Beeching, in the process of trying to understand these changes.

The artist invites you to visit the exhibition, saying:

“There`s plenty to play with, and art to sit and watch, like TV, and it might give rise to thoughts you didn`t know you had”.

This ‘breakthrough` exhibition is the first by Oriel Q Gallery to explore the effect of photography on painting and painting on photography, offering up possible bnfuture developments for both.

Visit this show at Oriel Q Gallery Narberth. 11, Market Street Narberth SA67 7AX from September 16 to October 15. It will be open on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 10am to 4pm. Visit www.oreielqnarberth.com or tel. 01834 218394.
