THE border of England and Wales is the subject of an exhibition, featuring the work of fours artists, showing at Chepstow Museum into February.

Paintings by Joan Baker, Charles Burton, John Elwyn and Bert Isaac were curated by Peter Wakelin for the National Eisteddfod 2016 held in Abergavenny and Chepstow is the last stop for the exhibition.

Curator Anne Rainsbury said: “The exhibition is based on the one of the great Welsh novels, Border Country by Raymond Williams. Published in 1960 this influential autobiographical novel explored the changing lives of people on the Welsh borders, in town, village, farm and industrial valley, from the 1920s to the 1950s. The artists featured are all contemporaries of Williams.”

On Wednesday, February 1 at 7.30pm Peter Wakelin, writer and curator, specialising in Welsh art and heritage, talks about the works and the artists selected at the Drill Hall in Chepstow.
