Immersive exhibition brings Kyffin Williams paintings to life

Paintings by Sir Kyffin Williams, one of Wales's most important artists known for his thick palette-knife technique and rugged landscapes, have been animated and set to music in a new exhibition at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. The free, intimate experience features three rooms where visitors can hear the artist's story introduced by singer Sir Bryn Terfel, view animated landscapes swirling across the walls and floors accompanied by a chamber-folk string trio, and touch an electronic version of a self-portrait. The exhibition aims to introduce the artist and the library's vast collection to new and younger audiences. Williams left his entire estate to the library upon his death in 2006, making it the largest holder of his work in the world.
