Born in Swansea in 1939, Valerie Ganz was one of the foremost Welsh contemporary artists of her generation. She studied at Swansea College of Art, where she also tutored before becoming a full-time artist. Ganz travelled widely and is particularly known for her figurative work with miners, dancers and other workers. She always promoted the achievements of working people, both individually and collectively. Her early mining pieces are especially collectable.

This magnificent oil painting by Valerie Ganz depicts three miners working deep underground in the overwhelming darkness of a coal mine. Each man wears an orange uniform, one in a vest, the other two in shirts with rolled up sleeves, and a helmet with a headtorch. The beans of pure white light from the headtorches provide the only illumination, showing us that the men are placing a charge to detonate an area of rock, with bright red leads protruding from the rockface. We gain in insight into the danger, importance and dignity of this work and the artist’s immense respect for the men who spend their working lives in these conditions. This is an extremely intimate and atmospheric work, in the exact genre for which Ganz is best known.
