Paintings | Travelling Light (2002-03)

A selection of landscape paintings each made as a journey into the unknown.


"Nicholas Jones moves away from all that is literal in the depiction of a landscape and, instead, promotes a certain idea or mental echo of a landscape, perceived on a much more personal level. From a visual point of view, his sensitive records of nature’s delicacies are reminiscent of impressionist practices. Subtleties of hue and texture dissolve into diaphanous vistas, opening up his paintings and allowing them to breathe. In them, night turns into day, shade into light, and ordinary landscape into an exquisite moment of still beauty, infused with poetic resonances."

Dr Imola Antal Mavity, Art Historian
