Ken Elias is one of Wales’ leading artists. Born in 1944, into a working-class family in Glynneath, his childhood was formed during the 1950s. He attended art school in the 1960s, during the height of the Pop Art movement in the UK.〔() 〕 ==Artwork== Ken Elias's work is held in a number of public collections, including the National Museum of Wales, the National Library of Wales, the Arts Council of Wales, Brecknock Museum & Art Gallery and the Contemporary Arts Society of Wales.〔() 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ken Elias )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC - Your Paintings - Ken Elias )〕 Using acrylic paint, photomontage and mixed media, Elias creates powerful, striking images, with strong shapes and contrasting colours. Influenced by the memories of family and cinema during his 1950s childhood〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ken Elias )〕 and his love of poetry and art, his work uses memory and imagination, responding to and drawing inspiration from global issues and currents, while also being strongly rooted in the visual language of the south Wales valleys.〔() 〕〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC - Blogs - Wales - Thin Partitions - artist Ken Elias )〕 In 2009 the National Library of Wales launched a touring retrospective exhibition of his work titled; ''Ken Elias: A Retrospective - A celebration of 40 years of painting''〔() 〕〔() 〕 alongside a publication by Seren Books, edited by Ceri Thomas; ''Ken Elias: Thin Partitions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ken Elias: Thin Partitions - Seren Books )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ken Elias Thin Partitions )〕 In April 2013, Elias' work was included in a major exhibition at the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, titled ''Pop and Abstract'', alongside work by David Hockney, Peter Blake, Allen Jones, Bridget Riley and others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pop and Abstract )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pop art of Wales back on display )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pop and Abstract - What's On - National Museum Wales )〕 He is a member of both The Welsh Group〔http://www.thewelshgroup-art.com/#!ken-elias/ccph〕〔() 〕 and the 56 Group Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ken Elias )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ken Elias」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
