Born in Liverpool in 1958, Emrys Williams moved to Colwyn Bay in north Wales with his family when he was eleven. He trained at Slade School of Art before embarking on a career in teaching.

Emrys creates a very personal world in his paintings, based on his memories and imagination. Silent mysterious characters huddled under umbrellas hovering at the edge of the pictures. Lighthouses, trains, and distant boats and ships are all part of the basic vocabulary of his paintings, which form part of the narrative set within coastal scenes which are familiar to him.

Emrys has work in public and private collections, including the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Yn ôl

 

Wedi'i eni yn Lerpwl yn 1958, symudodd Emrys Williams i Fae Colwyn yng Ngogledd Cymru gyda'i deulu pan oedd ond unarddeg mlwydd oed. Addysgwyd yn Ysgol Gelf Slade cyn dechrau ar yrfa dysgu.

 

Crea Emrys fyd personol iawn yn ei beintiadau, wedi'u selio ar atgofion a dychymyg. Mae goleudai, trennau, cychod a llongau yn brif nodweddion yn ei beintiadau, ynghyd â grwpiau o bobl o dan ymbarelau, i gyd yn ymuno i greu naratif wedi'i lleoli mewn tirlun arfordirol.

 

Mae gwaith Emrys yn rhan o gasgliadau preifat a chyhoeddus, gan gynnwys Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru a'r MOMA, Efrog Newydd.
