The exhibition titled; ‘Yr hen ddweud o’r newydd yw/ The old telling made new’ consists of around thirty new works created and developed on older works stored in the artist’s studio. They are, in effect ‘palimpsests’, where occasionally the old work informs the new work drawn over it. Often the work is completely different to what it was, but maintains its gift of ‘telling’. One notable work in the exhibition; ‘Dameg. Post-colonialism is a ‘Chimera’ (2025) is a reflection on his realisation that this is so, whilst other works reference the political climate in the USA, UK and the Ukraine and Palestine. Whilst global concerns are expressed, the artist begins his exploration, his ‘field-notes’, from his perspective of Cymru, his own homeland.

The exhibition also contains works on loan from the public collections of The National Library of Wales and Amgueddfa Cymru, which are not often on public display. The exhibition has been made possible through CELF, an initiative to share collections held by public institutions in Wales to a wider audience. These works by Bala, from the 1990s to today, show the consistency and continuity of his ‘telling’ over his career.
