Born in Sarn, South Wales in 1947, Kevin Sinnott is a contemporary Welsh artist with a truly international reputation. Having trained at The Royal College of Art, Kevin remained in London throughout the 70’s and 80’s, building a very successful career, exhibiting at several of London’s leading galleries and major galleries in the U.S.A. and mainland Europe.

Kevin’s work is collected worldwide and he is represented in many important public collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. His large canvas - ‘Running Away with the Hairdresser’ has proved to be one of The National Museum of Wales’s most popular recent acquisitions.

Kevin returned to live in Wales in 1995 and was quickly established at the forefront of the renaissance in Welsh painting. While his work is primarily concerned with human relationships, the influence of the South Wales landscape is strongly felt in his paintings.

Yn ôl

Wedi ei eni yn Sarn, De Cymru ym 1947, mae Kevin Sinnott yn un o’r ychydig arlunwyr Cymreig sydd ag enw gwirioneddol dda yn ryngwladol. Wedi hyfforddiant yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Celf, arhosodd Kevin yn Llundain drwy’r 70au a’r 80au, gan adeiladu gyrfa lwyddiannus iawn, gan arddangos mewn nifer o orielau blaenllaw Llundain ac orielau mwyaf yn U.D.A. a thrwy Ewrop.

Cesglir gwaith Kevin yn fyd eang ac fe’i cynrychiolir mewn nifer o gasgliadau cyhoeddus pwysig, gan gynnwys yr Amgueddfa Gelf Metropolitan, Efrog Newydd. Mae ei gynfas mawr ‘Running Away with the Hairdresser’ yn un o gaffaeliadau mwyaf poblogaidd Amgueddfa Cenedlaethol Cymru.

Dychwelodd Kevin i fyw yng Nghymru naw mlynedd yn ôl gan sefydlu ei hun yn gyflym fel pen blaen y dadeni ym mhaentio Cymreig. Tra fod ei waith yn y lle cyntaf yn ymwneud â pherthynas dynol, mae dylanwad tirlun De Cymru i’w deimlo yn gryf yn ei beintiadau.
