Gawain Barnard, Untitled from Maybe We’ll Be Soldiers, 2011

—

This wednesday Ffotogallery is opening their most recent exhibition Gawain Barnard’s “Maybe We’ll Be Soldiers” exhibition.

Gawain is well known in the S.wales Photographic and Art scene, as well as being one of the senior Technicians in the University of Wales Newport. We are very exited to see his work on the walls once again!

This is what Ffotogallery has to say about his work.

“Maybe We’ll Be Soldiers is a story of realisation, self-doubt, expectations and coming of age. A young person’s sense of invincibility fades as they reach adulthood and the beautiful naivety of youth gives way to caution and future plans. Through intimate portraits, Barnard captures that moment in the lives of young teenagers in Wales, juxtaposed here with images of foliage and verdant nature.”

Gawain will also be giving a talk on the 15th of September: more info here
