Pontypridd Y.M.C.A. Centenary Art Project

CENTENARY ART PROJECT - FEBRUARY 2010

Cefn Primary Cilfynydd Primary In celebration of the YMCA’s centenary year, Welsh artist Craig Lewis worked alongside local primary school children to produce a collection of commemorative artworks. Adopting a post-modernist ‘Pop Art’ aesthetic, each work represents a key moment in the history of the centre’s 100 year reign. Owing a great debt to the YMCA’s extensive photographic archive, the work presents the viewer with a nostalgic gallery of faces and moments from the near to distant past. The impressive scale, abstract colours and eclectic mixed-media style of the work owe their origins to the New York art scene of the 1960s and pay homage to such iconic artists as Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol.
