Katherine Jones RA, Gone Again in a Minute, 2024 (framed)
Oil on wood panel, 32 x 24.5 x 3cm
Royal Academician Katherine Jones’ practice encompasses a wide range of contemporary and traditional printmaking techniques as well as watercolour and oil painting. Her limited edition and unique works are characterised by a particular luminosity whether it be generated by sunlight hitting water or the artificial glow from within a glasshouse.
Throughout her practice, Katherine has been fascinated by structures that historically provide shelter - but may be more fragile than first assumed. The transformative forces seen within the natural world, and ideas of morphing and evolution, are also a strong themes running through her recent works.
This new, framed painting continues the artist’s exploration into the human qualities of flowers - in this case, cornflowers - which the artist grew from seeds in a box outside her studio window in Brixton. She says; ‘the perfect blue of the cornflowers (almost a purple) didn’t sit right in the painting so it changed as did the form of the flowers. Some of them faded and became light lilac right before the end, and the star-shaped seed-pods were golden with small sharp black tips. A few of them were desiccated one hot weekend and still hold the blue on dry, silver stems blowing around outside the window’.
Katherine graduated from Camberwell College of Art in 2003. She has exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally including a solo exhibition at Rabley Gallery in 2021 and more recently in ‘Hockney to Himid: 60 Years of British Printmaking’ at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester . She has been the recipient of numerous awards including the London Original Print Fair Prize in 2014. She was also artist in residence at Eton College Drawing Schools in 2014; this experience informed Oliver Projects’ solo exhibitions of her work in 2020. Her work is held in public collections including the V&A Museum, London, Guangdong Museum, China, and Boston Athenaeum, USA. Katherine was elected a Royal Academician in April 2022. Oliver Projects presented a joint show of Katherine’s new painting and prints at Sims Reed Gallery, London, in early 2024. She lives and works in south east London.
