Gwilym Prichard

Born: 1931, UK, Wales, Llanystumdwy   Died: 2015, UK, Wales, Tenby

Landscape painter. Studied at Birmingham College of Art. Prichard taught in Anglesey until 1973, at which point he made his career as an artist a full-time occupation. He uses thick, expressive strokes to portray the Welsh landscape in its most raw, essential form and has become one of the foremost figures in Welsh landscape painting. Prichard is well admired in Brittany where he spent some years living and working. He has been awarded the Silver Medal by the French Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters, and has been named an Honorary Fellow by the University of Wales.
