A Setting by Anthony Shapland

16 March — 8 July 2013 *on now

On show in the back gallery at Oriel y Parc, in conjunction with Spirit of Place, is the 2007 film A Setting by Anthony Shapland.

This showing at Oriel y Parc is be the first time Amgueddfa Cymru has exhibited the work since it was acquired.

Taking place in a landscape, as day becomes night, A Setting quietly subverts aspects of the Romantic landscape tradition to create an understated, riveting human drama about transience and humanity.
