Using the British Empire Panels as their inspiration, Bermingham and Robinson have transformed the entrance windows to the Brangwyn Hall into a giant kaleidoscope of light and colour, visible both inside and out, day and night, that evokes the energy and life of Sir Frank Brangwyn’s panels held within. This installation brings a new focus of attention upon the panels and by doing so reaffirms their national significance and importance.

Each of the three windows corresponds to one of the panels and by using the same colour palette as the originals, Bermingham and Robinson have created a bold design of coloured vinyl pasted directly onto the windows.

This new installation captures the essence of Brangwyn’s original concept and highlights the aspect that brought the British Empire Panels rejection from the House of Lords: his uncompromising vision of the colourful and optimistic nature of Empire. By sharing and working with Brangwyn’s ideals, Bermingham and Robinson have created a contemporary artwork using the very same strength of creative independence and determined artistic vision.

Bermingham & Robinson: British Empire Panel Project

I gyd-fynd â Gŵyl Cerdd a Chelf Abertawe, mae Locws Rhyngwladol wedi comisiynu gwaith celf newydd dros dro ar gyfer Neuadd Brangwyn Abertawe. Mae’r gwaith celf trawiadol a lliwgar yn ymateb i Baneli’r Ymerodraeth Brydeinig y tu mewn i Neuadd Brangwyn. Mae gosodiad Robert Bermingham a Richard Robinson yn ffenestri’r neuadd yn amlygu ac adlewyrchu paneli Syr Frank Brangwyn, gan ddod â dehongliad cyfoes i Abertawe.

Venue: Neuadd Brangwyn Abertawe
Gellir eu gweld drwy’r dydd, bob dydd, drwy gydol Gŵyl Cerdd a Chelf Abertawe.

Mae Robert Bermingham a Richard Robinson yn cydweithio, gan ffurfio partneriaeth gelfydd ddeinamig ag enw da sy’n tyfu yn y celfyddydau gweledol cyfoes yng Nghymru. Mae’u gwaith yn cyfuno arlunio, collage, gosodiadau a cherfluniau mewn ffordd arloesol gyffrous, gan ddefnyddio syniadau a thechnegau newydd i greu gweithiau celf bywiog a deinamig.
