The Birdcage : Half of yours, Half of mine Painting

Lucia Jones is a UK based artist. Jones' work explores the materiality of paint in relation to memory. Her most recent paintings primarily utilise cinematic source imagery of 90s romantic comedies and cult classics as a means to address the intangible nature of nostalgia through the constructs of film and painting. Impersonal and personal all at once, they allude to fragmented space whilst conjuring an internalised or other world. Glimpses of bare canvas root the paintings into our physical reality whilst the paint formulates its own; slivers of the imagined and real sit on the surface of the canvas serving as artefacts of the seen and the experienced. Jones has been shortlisted for several accolades on the British art scene, exhibiting nationwide and selling internationally. Highlights include exhibiting at the iconic Mall Galleries in London and Penwith Gallery in St Ives. Her work is held in collections in the USA, Hong Kong, Austria as well as the UK.
