Pierhead Future\u2019s Gallery is hosting an art exhibition to encourage our generation to observe and celebrate the contemporary Welsh landscape.<\/p>\n

Local artist Eloise Govier’s paintings and sculptures preserve in time\u00a0a vision of our modern, transformed country. Belonging to The Landscape? offers a commentary on man-made additions and structures to our scenery and identity.<\/p>\n

Eloise’s exhibition highlights industrial vulnerability, like Port Talbot\u2019s steelworks or Milford Haven\u2019s decommissioned oil refinery. This shut-down mean changes to our iconic landscape.<\/p>\n

Her art is intended to make us stop, look, and think of our non-renewable or renewable energy choices, and what they entail for future generations.<\/p>\n

‘Milford Haven By Sea’ by Eloise Govier, using pen, Gouache, and ink on hand marbled paper, created to preserve the Welsh landscape in optimistic art<\/p><\/div>\n

Located near the Senedd, the exhibition coincides\u00a0with the assembly\u2019s Climate Change Engagement Strategy for Wales, and its low carbon ambition strategy by 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe transition to low carbon means our landscape is transforming,\u201d said Eloise. \u201cEnergy is always advancing, and wind turbines won\u2019t be here in the possible future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funky digital processes of her paintings, alongside age-old methods of drawing and painting are what a\u00a0visitor described as\u00a0\u201ca nuclear fusion.\u201d Eloise wanted the bright, contrasting colours of her Expressionist and Colurist pieces to draw visitors\u00a0to the all-important environmental themes discussed.<\/p>\n

Front sculpture: ‘Coracle’ by Eloise Govier, made from mosaic tiles and plaster of Paris, representing a fishing device and sheep transporter in old West Wales that references former craft and industry.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI wanted to spotlight issues and open up areas of discussion \u2013 especially inter-generational discussion,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Families can enjoy the exhibition\u2019s child-friendly resources, work-sheets, and navigational activities that Eloise included to support child learning.<\/p>\n

Created in response to the Welsh Government\u2019s Well-Being of Future Generations Act, the artwork represents Eloise\u2019s belief that the Government are positively forward-thinking.<\/p>\n

The Well-Being Act, effective April 2016, will improve energy strategies to ensure Welsh heritage is conserved. Assembly member Joyce Watson, supporter of Eloise\u2019s exhibition, fully backed the Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now seeing, alongside our traditional heavy industries,\u201d said Joyce, \u201cthe rise of new energies such as tidal, which I have championed for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

We asked the people of Cardiff how the landscape has changed for them…<\/p>\n
