Plot Hooks
♦ The Ocean/The Sea:
Adeline spends a LOT of time in, near and around the sea – or researching it in Oceanography library holdings. Anybody working with the sea, with boats, with surfing, or with marine biology, will be fascinating to her.
♦ The Street:
Adeline can be found frequenting dealers in certain forms of narcotics …
♦ The University:
Adeline is a postdoctoral fellow who has come to UC Prospect as part of an interdisciplinary, multi-year Physical Oceanography project. As part of this multimillion dollar project, certain postdoctoral fellows have been hired to communicate and express research through a range of media, including art.
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.”
