Art review, Strange Seas, Exhibition. Tate Modern, 2019 “ … yet the strangest contributor to the exhibition is without question that by Adeline Llyr, the young Welsh artist honoured a few years ago by reaching the long list of the Turner Prize. Her work has only grown more uncanny since. There is no understating the the ferocity and strangeness of her undersea images. Vivid and haunting, her massive-scale canvases overwhelm the human perceiver. The sea in sunlight, the sea at night, tumultuous waves, deep quiet caverns — and most striking of all, the midnight darkness of the Bathypelagic Zone.” Gallery x200px x200px
