Nik Roche Talk and Tour

It’s Hard to Report a Stolen Bike, Stolen is a further chapter to The Budgie Died Instantly. This work initially emerged from lived experience and childhood memories but then, through a series of chance encounters, became an exploration of friendship, conflict, humour and humanity. It looks at relationships, acceptance and trust within a closely self-guarded community. A place where utopian desires exist in windows decorated with flowers and pride fronting forbidden spaces behind closed doors that hang full of lost innocence and diminishing dreams.

There will be an opportunity to speak with the artist and find out more about the work on Saturday 9th October, 3 - 5pm! Join Nik Roche for a tour of his exhibition, as well as a book signing and Q & A session.

Proffil Artist

Nik Roche

Fe ffeindiodd Nik fod ganddo angerdd am ffotograffiaeth pan oedd ar ganol gyrfa lwyddiannus yn cynllunio gerddi. Yn ddiweddar, enillodd Radd Meistr mewn Ffotograffiaeth Ddogfennol o Brifysgol De Cymru. Yno, fe ddatblygodd ddull trochol iawn o greu delweddau dan ddylanwad ei ddiddordeb mewn newid cymdeithasol ac effaith sefydliadau ar ymddygiad yr unigolyn.

Mae ganddo ddull dyngarol o greu gwaith.

Cyhoeddwyd ei fonograff cyntaf, The Budgie Died Instantly, gan Setanta Books yn 2020. Ar hyn o bryd mae’n gweithio ar yr ail bennod, It’s hard to report a stolen bike, stolen.
