Shani Rhys James, arguably the most exciting and successful Welsh painter of her generation, is having her first solo show at the Tegfryn Gallery. Shani is best known for her large scale figurative work but for this exhibition she has been commissioned to produce a show of small paintings. Shani has been feted with prizes and honours, including the Jerwood Prize (the UK’s most valuable and prestigious prize for painting) and the Gold Medal at the National Eisteddfod. She received her MBE in 2006. William Packer, the distinguished art critic, has spoken of her as a painter of remarkable power, whose paintings are as convincing as anything currently being produced in Britain. Her body of collectors, both private and public, continues to expand both in the UK and abroad. Mae Shani Rhys James, un o arlunwyr Cymreig mwyaf cyffrous a llwyddiannus ei chenhedlaeth, yn cael ei sioe unigol gyntaf yn Oriel Tegfryn. Mae Shani yn fwy adnabyddus am ei gwaith ffigurol ar raddfa fawr, ond yn arbennig ar gyfer yr arddangosfa hon mae hi wedi cael ei gomisiynu i gynhyrchu sioe o baentiadau bychain. Mae Shani wedi ennill nifer o wobrwyon, gan gynnwys Gwobr Jerwood (prif wobr arlunio ym Mhrydain) a’r fedal Aur yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol. Derbyniodd MBE yn 2006. Mae William Packer, y beirniad celf o fri, wedi disgrifio Shani fel ‘artist anhygoel ac un o’r arlunwyr mwyaf rhyfeddol sydd gennym ym Mhrydain ar hyn o bryd. Mae ganddi gorff eang o gasglwyr, preifat a chyhoeddus, sy’n parhau i ehangu ym Mhrydain a thramor.
