Arddangosfa /Exhibition: John Uzzel Edwards: Looking Back
Bu John Uzzell Edwards yn paentio erioed a Chymru oedd ei gynfas. Roedd ei waith cynnar yn y ‘60au yn darlunio’r diffeithdra oedd yn goresgyn Merthyr Tudful a Chwm Rhymni, lle y’i ganwyd, y capeli’n adfeilion, yr adeiladau anghyfannedd a’r pyllau glo oedd yn cau’n gyfly//John Uzzell Edwards always painted, and his canvas was always Wales. His early work in the ‘60s depicted the dereliction that was overtaking Merthyr and the Rhymney Valley, where he was born, the ruined chapels, abandoned buildings and fast-closing mines
