Dottie-may Aston : Excuse Me?
Trosolwg
Feeling Sheepish
Feeling Sheepish

Ymchwiliad i hunan-bortread, gwrthrychau cyfarwydd, anifeiliaid a thirweddau sydd yng ngwaith Dottie-may, sy’n creu bydoedd clos lle mae bywyd cyfoes a hen chwedlau rhyfedd yn plethu ynghyd.

Cwrdd â’r Artist Sadwrn 7 Mawrth 1-3yp

Gydag ymdeimlad cyfoes, mae Dottie-may yn paentio chwedlau oesol. Er taw bwriad ei gwaith yw ennyn diddanwch, mae eu islais anesmwyth yn gwahodd myfyrdod dyfnach. Enghraifft benodol yw trawsffurfio’r chwedl glasurol am y sgwarnog a’r crwban yn baentiad olew “Winning the Race?”, lle mae’r creadur dŵr croyw yn crwydro tuag at y môr, yn wahoddiad i ni ystyried gwir natur buddugoliaeth. O dan yr estheteg dawel mae yna agwedd bryfoclyd. Mae’r artist yn haeru ei bod yn anorfod, wrth wisgo’ch calon ar eich llawes, eich bod yn darganfod ambell edefyn yn y pigment. Cadwch lygad ar agor am y tirlun alegorïaidd nesaf: mae wedi addo moch yn hedfan.

Meet the Artists Saturday 7 March 1-3pm
Oriel Canfas Cardigan SA43 1HY
Exhibition Runs 28 Feb- 28 March

Oriel Canfas Gallery continues its dynamic program with three vibrant solo exhibitions this March to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD). As part of the 2026 IWD campaign ‘Give to Gain’, Canfas joins forces with gallery TEN Cardiff, to host ‘LIFE LINES’ a major exhibition of paintings by Annie Morgan- Suganami being held in the main space of the gallery. In the upstairs galleries we present Lola Rose Chapman’s ‘Essence of Place’ a solo show of new abstract landscapes inspired by West Wales, and we introduce artist Dottie-may Aston whose exhibition ‘Excuse Me?’ weaves self-portraiture with contemporary life and old whimsical tales.

‘It's a real pleasure to collaborate on this exhibition - a partnership that stems from a shared conviction between Canfas and TEN that galleries exist to support the arts and to uplift the artists of our country,” says TEN’s Cat Gardiner

Annie Morgan Suganami sings with Sue Jones-Davies at 2pm. Raising money for Enfys Aberystwyth, a specialist resource base for autistic children at Ysgol Llwyn Yr Eos.

Many remember Sue as the character Judith Iscariot in Monty Python's 1979 Life of Brian. The town of Aberystwyth banned the film on its release until Sue was elected mayor there in 2008. Sue will be singing a cappella with longtime friend Annie raising money for Enfys Aberystwyth.

Song set includes:

The exhibitions open on February 28th 2026 through March 28th 2026. The Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 10:30 am – 4 pm.
