TU HWNT I'R MYNYDDOEDD - Hydref 13 - Rhagfyr 24, 2024
Yn ddiweddar mae Pete Jones wedi cwblhau cyfres o baentiadau “Tu Hwnt i’r Mynyddoedd” fydd yn cael eu harddangos ar y cyd â’i gyd-artist Louise Morgan gan agor dydd Sul 13 Hydref, 2024 ac yn parhau tan 24 Rhagfyr. 
"Rwyf wedi bod yn ffodus yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf fod nifer o’m portreadau wedi llwyddo i wneud eu ffordd i gasgliadau cenedlaethol Cymru yn Aberystwyth a Chaerdydd. Canolbwynt y corff hwn o waith, yn hytrach na phortreadu, fydd y mynyddoedd a'r môr o amgylch gogledd orllewin. Cymru.
Rwy’n treulio llawer o fy amser yn y mynyddoedd ac ar yr arfordir. Pan fyddaf yn y mannau hyn, yn enwedig yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf, mae’n debyg fy mod wedi dod yn fwy adfyfyriol o ran fy ymwybyddiaeth o’n marwoldeb bregus. Daw'r teimladau hyn yn fwy acíwt wrth wynebu mawredd hindreuliedig tir a morluniau arfordir gorllewinol gogledd Cymru; mae'r cyd-destun y gosodir y gwaith ynddo hefyd yn gwaethygu teimladau ar ôl colli teulu neu ffrindiau. Mae'r cylchoedd solar a'r lleuad hefyd yn nodwedd drom, themâu sy'n adlewyrchu treigl amser cyson.
Gall paentio fod yn ymdrech hunanol, gan ganolbwyntio weithiau ar ymatebion mewnol i fywyd, archwilio syniadau a datrys meddyliau a theimladau personol. I mi, mae’n broses organig sy’n cael ei dylanwadu’n fawr gan fy nheimladau mewn ymateb i’r hyn rwy’n ei weld a’i deimlo.
Mae fy mhaentiadau yn ceisio creu naws neu “awyrgylch gweledol” o le yn hytrach na chynrychiolaeth fanwl, ddarluniadol o'r hyn sydd o'm blaen. Fy mannau cychwyn ar gyfer peth o’r gwaith oedd geiriau artistiaid ac awduron sydd wedi atseinio gyda mi o ran fy marn fy hun o fywyd ac o Gymru. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys Brenda Chamberlain, Patrick Jones ac R.S. Thomas - Gall geiriau ysbrydoli delweddaeth yn union fel y gall delweddaeth ysbrydoli geiriau.
Rwyf wedi ceisio gweithio'n gyflym ac yn reddfol, gan gael fy nylanwadu gan siawns. Mae gan lawer o'r paentiadau haenau trwchus o baent sydd wedi'u hail-weithio sawl gwaith, ac mae rhai yn cadw'r ddelweddaeth ysgafn o'r hyn oedd yn gorwedd o dan y ddelwedd derfynol. Rwyf wedi darganfod y broses yma yn diddorol, ac yn gobeithio ei fod wedi rhoi dyfnder i'r gwaith terfynol.

BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS - October 13 - December 24, 2024
Pete has recently completed a series of paintings “Beyond the Mountains” which will open on Sunday13th October, 2024 @ 2pm and will run until 24th December. This will be a joint exhibition with fellow Welsh Artist Louise Morgan. 
"I have been fortunate in recent years that several of my portraits have managed to make their way to the national collections of Wales in Aberystwyth and Cardiff but the focus of this body of work, rather than portraiture, will be the Mountains and Sea around North Western Wales.
Much of my time is spent up in the mountains or on the coast. When I am in these places, especially in more recent years, I have probably become more reflective in terms of my own awareness of our fragile mortality. These feelings become more acute when faced with the weathered grandeur of the land and seascapes of the Western Coast of Northern Wales, the context in which the work is set. Feelings are also compounded following the loss of family or friends. The solar and lunar cycles also feature heavily, themes that reflects the constant passage of time.
Painting can be a selfish endeavour, sometimes focusing upon inward responses to life, the exploration of ideas and the resolution of thoughts and personal feelings. For me it is an organic process that is greatly influenced by my own feelings in response to what I see and feel.
My paintings attempt to create a feel or “visual ambience” of a place rather than a detailed, pictorial representation of what is before me. My starting points for some of the works were the words of artists and writers that have resonated with me in terms of my own view of life and of Wales, these include Brenda Chamberlain, Patrick Jones and R.S. Thomas - Words can inspire imagery just as imagery can inspire words.
I have tried to work quickly and instinctively, Influenced by chance. Many of the paintings have thick layers of paint that have been re-worked several times; some retain the feint imagery of what lay beneath the final image. I have found this process interesting, and I hope it has given an additional depth to the final work."
