Annabelle Shelton Annabelle Shelton is a painter whose usual and distinctive medium is paint on large aluminium panels. Her work usually explores the patterns and shapes made by people in an urban setting or landscape; her scenes include streets, road crossings, events, parks and popular beach settings from which she eradicates all architecture, skies, street furniture and evidence of nature - leaving individual human figures making patterns in relation to each other. “The unfinished look of the work is deliberate, as the white negative space is like a void of nothingness but also gives the viewer a visual resting space. White space is often present in my work and signifies that which does not need to be said. The intention of my work is subtle and necessary in its rendering, for the quietness. “ http://www.annabelleshelton.com

Paentwraig yw Annabelle Shelton sy'n arbenigo mewn paentio ar baneli alwminiwm mawr. Fel rheol mae ei gwaith yn archwilio'r patrymau a'r siapiau a wneir gan bobl mewn lleoliad trefol neu dirwedd; mae ei golygfeydd yn cynnwys strydoedd, croesfannau, digwyddiadau, parciau a glannau môr poblogaidd. Mae hi'n dileu'r holl bensaerniaeth, yr awyr, celfi stryd ac unrhyw dystiolaeth o natur - gan adael ffigyrau dynol yn ffurfio patrymau mewn perthynas â'i gilydd. “Mae golwg anorffenedig y gwaith yn fwriadol, gan fod y gofod negyddol gwyn fel gwagle enfawr - ond mae hefyd yn rhoi i'r gwyliwr fan gorffwys gweledol. Mae gofod gwyn yn aml yn bresennol yn fy ngwaith ac mae'n dynodi'r hyn nad oes angen ei ddweud. Mae bwriad fy ngwaith yn gynnil gan fod y teimlad o dawelwch yn hanfodol. “
