Paentio Dwyflynyddol BEEP 2024 | BEEP Painting Biennial 2024

Byddai ddim yn aros mewn byd heb gariad | I won't stay in a world without love

13/01 - 04/04/2025

Dechreuodd Beep ei fywyd yn wreiddiol yn 2012 a chafodd ei ddychmygu gan yr artist a chyfarwyddwr oriel elysium Jonathan Powell. Ganwyd y syniad o’r awydd i ddod â chyfres reolaidd o arddangosfeydd peintio cyfoes uchelgeisiol i Gymru gan gofleidio’r gwaith gorau a mwyaf hanfodol sy’n cael ei greu heddiw. Ei nod yw dod â’r peintiadau cyfoes gorau o bob rhan o’r byd i Gymru, gan amlygu rhagoriaeth o ran cynnwys, esthetig, techneg, a’r deunyddiau a ddefnyddir. Mae Beep hefyd yn darparu ac yn meithrin rhwydwaith llawn gwybodaeth ar gyfer arlunwyr a phobl sydd â diddordeb mewn peintio cyfoes drwy godi ymwybyddiaeth o waith artistiaid a chyfleoedd artistiaid o bob rhan o’r DU a thu hwnt. Mae arddangosfa Gwobr Peintio Beep 2024 yn cynnwys dros 340 o artistiaid o bob cwr o’r byd. Gofynnwyd i bawb ymateb i’r thema ‘Byddai ddim yn aros mewn byd heb gariad’, telyneg wedi’i chymryd o gân y Beatles na ddefnyddiwyd. Yn ôl yr arfer roedd artistiaid yn gallu cyflwyno hyd at ddau beintiad yn seiliedig yn fras ar thema gerddorol eleni. Allan o’r holl geisiadau, lluniwyd rhestr hir o artistiaid a gafodd wedyn deitl cân o record finyl 7” wedi’i hachub a chreu clawr newydd peintiedig ar ei chyfer. Mae pob clawr record wedi’i pheintio yn mesur 18cm x 18cm, a’r gerddoriaeth yw prif gynnwys yr arddangosfa. Yna, dewisodd ein panel o feirniaid restr fer o’r ceisiadau gwreiddiol a fydd yn cael eu harddangos yn yr arddangosfa, a dewiswyd enillwyr Biennial Peintio Bîp 2024 ohonynt. Dewiswyd yr artistiaid ar y rhestr fer gan banel o feirniaid yn cynnwys y cerddor enwog a chyflwynydd Radio Wales Bronwen Lewis, y curadur Ann Jones, yr artist a darlithydd Nelson Diplexcito, gyda’r artist Cymreig arobryn Tim Davies yn dewis gwaith ar gyfer Gwobr Cyfeillion Glynn Vivian.

Beep originally started life in 2012 and was conceived by artist and elysium gallery director Jonathan Powell. It was borne out of a desire to bring a regular series of ambitious contemporary painting exhibitions to Wales embracing the best and most vital work being created today. It aims to bring to Wales the best contemporary painting from across the globe, highlighting excellence in content, aesthetic, technique, and materials used. Beep also provides and nurtures an informative network for painters and people interested in contemporary painting by raising awareness of artists’ works and artist opportunities from across the UK and beyond. The Beep Painting Prize 2024 exhibition features over 340 artists from around the world. All were asked to respond to the theme of ‘I won’t stay in a world without love’, a lyric taken from a discarded Beatles song. As usual artists were able to submit up to two paintings based loosely on this year’s musical theme. Out of all the applications, a long list was drawn up who were then given the title of a song from a rescued 7” vinyl record and create a new painted cover for it. The painted record covers each measuring 18cm x 18cm, and the music forms the main content of the exhibition. Our panel of judges then selected a shortlist from the original applications which will be displayed in the exhibition, from which the winners of the 2024 Beep Painting Biennial were chosen. The shortlisted artists were selected by a panel of judges featuring celebrated musician and Radio Wales host Bronwen Lewis, curator Ann Jones, artist and lecturer Nelson Diplexcito, with award winning Welsh artist Tim Davies selecting work for the Friends of the Glynn Vivian Prize.
