The Welsh Group is an artists’ collective, with the purpose of exhibiting and “giving a voice” to the visual arts in Wales. The Group’s exhibition Across Two Valleys which was due to show in May 2020 at the Cynon Valley Museum and Redhouse, Merthyr Tydfil, has been rescheduled for November 2022. The members responded positively to the theme and their interpretation of across two valleys is wide in its subject matter and depiction. Visit online here

Using mainly oil and acrylic paints, Colin’s rich and expressive style is created with the generous application of paint using a swift, tumultuous sweep of a palette knife, often followed with more detailed brushwork application. Inspired by the beautiful coastline and mountains of Wales, much of his work depicts the power and vitality of the ocean. His atmospheric representation of the drama and rugged beauty of the Gower coastline, in particular, is regularly exhibited and increasingly collected across the UK and internationally. 

The Mezzanine Gallery and Lower Gallery are home to the museum’s temporary exhibition programme. The Museum holds a diverse programme of exhibitions including local artists and groups, national art bodies, artists and historic exhibitions.

Through our online gallery Exhibition at Home and Stories from the Collection, Cynon Valley Museum brings the culture and history into your homes through regular digital exhibitions and articles researching  the history of the Cynon Valley.
