Publisher's Synopsis

With iconographic zeal, Iwan Bala shifts his hallmark imagery onto a new three dimensional level with the exhibition and book, Offerings + Reinventions. In a typically forthright and self-revelatory essay he traces his artistic development, acknowledges crucial international influences from Zimbabwean sculpture to the Cuban Santeria tradition and expands on the theory of Custodial Aesthetics first expounded in Certan Welsh Artists. Inventive, poetic, politicised, Bala confirms his position as one of the most radical and influential artists working in Wales, combining as he does the mythological inheritance of Wales and other countries with painting and installation.

Seren

Seren is an independent literary publisher, specialising in English-language writing from Wales. Our prize-winning list has something to offer anyone with an interest in excellent writing. Our aim is not simply to reflect what is going on in the culture in which we publish, but to drive that culture forward, to engage with the world, and to bring Welsh literature, art and politics before a wider audience.Over its thirty year existence Seren has developed into one of the most interesting publishing houses in Britain. Based in Bridgend and aiming primarily to give voice to outstanding writing in the English language from Wales, Seren continues to nurture and publish new talent whose quality is recognized around the world.At the heart of our list is a good story told well or an idea or history presented interestingly or provocatively, what used to be called literary publishing before accountants and managers gained ascendancy. We?re international in authorship and readership though our roots remain here in Wales (seren = star in Welsh) where we prove that writers from a small country with an intricate culture have a worldwide relevance.
