You might recognise some colourful characters in a new exhibition at Fishguard Library’s gallery.

Artist Jude Owen’s first solo exhibition showcases a series of portraits which use features from residents in Fishguard and Goodwick.

The exhibition called A Blue Key is 25 year-old Jude’s first solo show.

“The exhibition features a collection of colourful portraits that I have painted over the last two years, with a few other works snuck in there too,” said Jude.

“The faces are a combination of people I have met in Goodwick and Fishguard since I moved here four years ago from Rhondda Cynon Taff.

“I have no formal artist experience but found lockdown has given me the time I needed to really practice.

“It has been a really interesting and I loved meeting other young artists and hope to organise more exhibitions with the aim of highlighting upcoming talent and allowing working people a space to express themselves.”

The exhibition finishes May 27. Jude is already working series of large-scale floral paintings which he hopes to exhibit in the near future.
