The Abysm – Elysium Gallery, College Street, Swansea – 27th November 2021.
I don’t often say this but I found that the exhibition by Gareth Phillips, at the Elysium, College Street Gallery, in Swansea was profound and moving.
The work was created over a long period of time, as a memorial and tribute to his father during his period of ill health, in the form of both prints and a large number of books.
The design alone was amazing, and a difficult underground room was transformed into a visual experience, by Gareth and his helper Abby Poulson. An exhibition which should not be missed and certainly deserves a far greater exhibition space, Galleries please Note!
