John Kiki Exhibition

An historic building in Cardiff Bay is being given a new lease of life through the creation of an exciting new contemporary art gallery. For its first exhibition, Corys’ Pop-Up Gallery is delighted to present at Corys’ Building a selection of paintings and etchings by the international artist, John Kiki.

In a highly modern take on medieval imagery, Kiki marries the bright lights, constant movement and artificial colours of the funfair with the tragedy and grandeur of Byzantine icons and illuminated manuscripts. Kiki’s strong images use bold colours and spontaneously applied acrylic paint. The artist sometimes returns to paintings originally produced many years ago and reworks them by adding new details.
