Julie Jones

Eight Days a Week

Novas Warehouse

My work is both an investigation into the process of painting and a search for images I find poetic or evocative of a state of mind. I often make reference to landscape and natural phenomena in my work, exploring the continuing relevance of landscape as a poetic image. I am interested in the ever-changing relationship we have with the world around us, the spiritual, emotional and historic significance of place.

The paintings aim to use the sensory and seductive qualities of colour, light and texture to reflect the very nature of how we experience things and how experience can be represented.
