Here’s a fabulous chance to see works from some of the world’s most acclaimed artists right here in Wrexham!
Tŷ Pawb’s upcoming exhibition, On Paper, showcases the work of acclaimed 20th-century and contemporary artists who work with paper.
Works from over 40 artists will be featured in the exhibition, including Damien Hirst, Roy Lichtenstein, Eduardo Paolozzi, Cornelia Parker, Wolfgang Tillmans and Bridget Riley, Welsh artists Tim Davies, Ceri Richards and James Richards, among many others.
The exhibition explores how artists have used paper as the focus of their work in creative and unusual ways.
The artists represented in On Paper use paper not only as a medium but also as the subject of their art, demonstrating a range of approaches to collage, drawing and sculpture.

A unique opportunity
Tŷ Pawb’s Creative Director and Arts Lead for Wrexham County Borough Council, Jo Marsh, said: “Bringing ‘On Paper’ to Wrexham and Tŷ Pawb, will provide our audiences an opportunity to see some outstanding artworks and internationally renowned artists, many of whom have never previously been seen in Wrexham.”
Cllr Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Communities, Partnerships, Public Protection and Community Safety, says: “With artists of the calibre that feature in the ‘On Paper’ exhibition, Tŷ Pawb is revealing its intention of being an internationally recognised art centre, whilst still supporting the local artists and communities that make Wrexham.”
