Sean Puleston
Hoi Polloi
Sean Puleston’s work explores the evocative nature of colour and form; their influence over emotions and use as cultural signifiers. His practice is concerned with how communities gather round ideas and how objects and spaces become icons for broader cultural, political and intellectual ideas.
Puleston’s latest body of work Red Rags has been informed by the 1831 Merthyr Rising, focusing on the symbol of the red flag used during this protest, the impulsiveness of the initial gesture and the influence a small piece of unwanted material can gain.
Mae gwaith Sean Puleston yn archwilio natur atgofus lliw a ffurf; eu dylanwad dros emosiynau a’u defnydd fel arwyddwyr diwylliannol. Mae ei waith yn ymwneud â sut mae cymunedau yn casglu ynghylch syniadau a sut mae gwrthrychau a mannau yn troi’n eiconau ar gyfer syniadau diwylliannol, gwleidyddol a deallusol ehangach.
Lywiwyd corff o waith diweddaraf Puleston, Red Rags, gan ‘Gwrthryfel Merthyr’ ym 1831, gan ganolbwyntio ar y symbol y faner coch a ddefnyddiwyd yn ystod y protest, byrbwylltra’r ystum cychwynnol a’r dylanwad y gall darn bach o ddeunydd diangen ennill.
