The Guardian reported that an immersive exhibition at the National Library of Wales has animated the paintings of Sir Kyffin Williams, one of the country’s most important artists. The show combines the artist’s rugged Welsh scenery with music, creating an all‑singing, all‑dancing experience. It follows similar projects that have brought works by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne and David Hockney to life in recent years. Williams is celebrated for his dramatic depictions of the Welsh countryside, rendered with thick layers of paint applied with a palette knife. By translating his canvases into a moving, sound‑scored environment, the exhibition offers a new way to experience his iconic landscapes.
Why it matters
The exhibition introduces a celebrated Welsh artist to wider audiences through a modern, immersive format.
