Exhibited: 1989-90 George Chapman - A Welsh Story, A Retrospective Exhibition. Touring

... the Rhondda is Chapman’s valley of vision, a vision very occasionally harsh, sometimes stark and austere, sometimes touched with irony and humour, but always a heroic vision of a hard but heroic way of toiling and living ...’
‘... some of his paintings are almost fierce in their devotion to the valley; they have an aura of worship and gratitude, are hymns of thanks. And a great many of them are charged with a superb dramatic intensity, a mixture of determination, faith and relief’

Jasper Rose The Studio May 1962
