Picture This Monochrome, Tannery Gallery Machynlleth

Despite its title, this free exhibition is anything but colourless

MONOCHROME is a selection from the MOMA Tabernacle permanent collection at the Tannery Gallery in Machynlleth, comprising over 360 paintings which are shown in continuous rotation.

It features work by well-known artists such as Augustus John, Stanley Spencer and Percy Wyndham Lewis, as well as works by artists who exhibit at MOMA Wales.

They range from Marc Boxer’s caricature of Roy Jenkins, an infamous member of the 1982 “Gang of  Four” Labour Party renegades, to the unsettlingly expressionistic Cradle by Christine Mills, the romantic sketch of young Dylan Thomas by Mervyn Levy and the delightful street scene of Back-to-Back by Sarah Snazell.
