John Cyrlas Williams (1902-1965) was once described as one of Wales’ most promising young painters. Recently 150 lost paintings by Williams were discovered in a Porthcawl attic.
In a landmark show, art historian Peter Lord and KSG artist Peter Rossiter curate a selection of these paintings in the Chate Room, KSG.
“These paintings are very, very good and they make up a fascinating piece of art history,” says Lord.
The Show runs until 30th August.

Earlier this summer KSG showcased exciting new work by the best new talent graduating from the Carmarthen School of Art.
During the two-week show visitors had the opportunity to vote for their favourite artist. We are delighted to announce that this year’s winner is Polly Dixon who wowed visitors with her Renaissance-inspired prints.
Polly receives the John Malcolm Chate Award and will be invited to showcase her work in a solo exhibition, “One Year On”, in the Chate Room next year.
