May 2023 - Present (3 months)
Wales, United Kingdom
For the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the Government Art Collection has commissioned nine amazing British artists to create striking new works of art. Working in paint, pencil, photography and sculpture, these new artworks will reflect upon this historic event’s social, cultural and spiritual significance and become part of our Collection.
Almost exactly 70 years ago, in 1953, the Ministry of Works commissioned notable artists of the day such as L.S. Lowry and Dame Laura Knight to create artworks for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In 2023, artists located across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and in New York, offer their own take on the Coronation.

Mohamed Hassan, Megan Winstone, National Portrait Gallery Collection
This exhibition brings together ten photographic portraits from the National Portrait Gallery, London, which explore Welsh identity, together with works from two Welsh photographers, Mohamed Hassan and Megan Winstone. This is a new collaborative display – organised in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery – exploring identity, representation and the contemporary relevance of portraiture. The exhibition is part of the National Skills Sharing Partnership Programme.
The works from the National Portrait Gallery highlight well-known Welsh people including The Bevans (Aneurin Bevan, Jenni Lee, Karol Keres; Pietro
Nenni) by Henri Cartier-Bresson; singer Shirley Bassey by Mike Owen, and actor Richard Burton by Irving Penn.
Alongside these portraits, artists Mohamed Hassan and Megan Winstone display a selection of their own work depicting people in Wales today.
Throughout the exhibition, the Glynn Vivian Learning team will be working with young people in Swansea to explore contemporary Welsh identity and consider whose portraits end up in national Collections. This will lead to the commission of ten new portraits, photographed by Mohamed and Megan, which will be displayed at Glynn Vivian in Spring 2023.
Dr Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, London said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Glynn Vivian Art Gallery on the National Skills Sharing Partnership as part of our transformational Inspiring People project. By working collaboratively with museums and galleries in this way we hope to encourage the exchange of skills and knowledge which will benefit both museum professionals and our audiences, and to develop collaborative displays which will make our portraits accessible to many more people across the UK.”

“I liked two photos that did not make the shortlist. In a portrait by Mohamed Hassan, who was born in Alexandria but now lives in Wales, a Sudanese worker sits alone in a drab room in Cairo. The migrant’s name is given in the title: Salih. Also, a Welsh term is appended, hiraeth, meaning something like longing and sadness. The colours of the photo are amazingly sophisticated and remind me of modern beauty captured in photos of sleazy southern

locations by William Eggleston in the 1960s and 1970s. His trademark is beauty that appears to come from nothing. Hassan achieves that effect in a photo that is also remarkable for its studied narrative richness.”
