Lesley Jones
Lesley is fascinated by the detailed structures of plants and rocks which provide the inspiration for her abstract paintings. She uses a process of mark-making and blending with oil paint or acrylics on very smoothly primed canvas to create subtle abstracted images with an illusion of 3-dimensionality.
The inspiration for her semi-abstract landscape paintings are rooted in the amazing skies, hills, mountains and coastlines of Britain in all kinds of weather, striving to capture the spirit of each place and its resonance.
The landscapes Lesley paints are unpopulated, wide open spaces filled with air and light, created by working energetically and intensively on one piece at a time in the studio with oil on canvas using a wet-in-wet process.
Since graduating from Central Saint Martins in 1996 Lesley’s work has been exhibited in the UK and USA and has been selected for regional and national art exhibitions and competitions.
