Brendan Stuart Burns' work will be on display at Anglesey's Oriel Môn from Saturday 5 March to 10 April 2011

The Cardiff-based artist is a former Welsh Artist of the Year and winner of the National Eistedfod's gold medal for fine art

The exhibition is described as a collection of bold abstract paintings inspired by the urban and rural landscape

Brendan said: "I believe very strong that painting is the most primitive and central of responses I can make to the world around me. The 'spiritual' within what I do as a painter is the common denominator within my creativity. It doesn't matter, on reflection, whether the work is concerned with the urban; New York, or rural; Pembrokeshire, these subject matters are just one of many reasons for making paintings."

Brendan also said of his work; "They are about being human, and the act of creativity, they are contemplative; they have to be sensed as well as experienced, they are physical paintings."

The exhibition will be officially opened on Saturday, 5 March, with the chance to meet Brendan and discuss his work.
