Kevin Sinnott : History Paintings
20 Jan-11 Mar 2017
Flowers, Kingsland Road
London E2 8DP
New paintings by artist Kevin Sinnott, bringing to light formative historical events and stories located within the towns and valleys of South Wales. In this new body of work, Sinnott translates the grand themes of history painting (known as the most important genre of art in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries), into the narrative history of the small Welsh Valley town of Pontycymmer and its surroundings, drawing attention to the distinguished characters and radical histories of the region.
