Check out our latest exhibition featuring Ian H Watkins as he presents his new collection titled 'Adre'.
Ian H Watkins with Adamo Gallery Directors, Richard & Sophie Blunt.
Painting has always been a passion for Ian H Watkins. Empowered by his love of performing arts, Ian’s foray into the visual arts is not unexpected. After leaving school, he was accepted into Cardiff Art College, but decided to defer for a year to pursue performing. That year turned into 25 years!
Although performing has been his focus, now he's found time to be creative and to pick up his paint brushes! After twenty-five years, four #1 albums, and 22 million albums later with the hugely successful pop group, Steps, Ian found himself looking for another creative endeavour after starting a family. It was then he returned to painting and began creating striking mixed media pieces depicting the vast beauty and encompassing nature of Welsh landscapes.
Building on the success of his previous sold-out collection, "Hiraeth," Ian H Watkins introduces his latest Spring collection, "Adre" exclusively at Adamo Gallery.
Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty surrounding his Welsh home; rugged coastlines, wildflower meadows, and sprawling valleys and hills- Ian's artistic journey continues. "Adre" Welsh for "Home," encapsulates where Ian's heart truly belongs.
While "Hiraeth" stirred emotions of longing for Wales with its untamed landscapes, "Adre" reaffirms Ian's connection to his roots, displaying a newfound passion and confidence evident in every brushstroke upon his canvas.
From the coastal vistas of South Wales to the serene Lakes and Valleys of North Wales and of course, the beautiful countryside which bridges the ancient landscape, Ian masterfully captures the fleeting beauty of Wales, ensuring his art resonates with viewers on a profound level.
On May 18th, Adamo Gallery was abuzz with excitement as we warmly welcomed Ian to celebrate the much-anticipated launch of 'Adre'. The atmosphere was filled with an air of anticipation and artistic energy as guests mingled and immersed themselves in the world of Ian's creations.
As the night unfolded, conversations flowed effortlessly, punctuated by expressions of admiration and awe for Ian's remarkable work. Our esteemed collectors were captivated by the sheer magnitude and depth of Ian's artistry, leaving us pleased as many pieces found new homes that very evening.
The gallery walls bore witness to the captivating allure of Ian's creations, each piece drawing viewers into a world where imagination and creativity intertwine seamlessly. It was truly a night to remember, where art, conversation, and celebration merged harmoniously, creating an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.
