Katherine Jones RA, Lotus, 2021
Collagraph and block print, 40 x 33cm, edition of 25 (unframed)
Katherine Jones’ practice encompasses a wide range of techniques that she combines to produce her distinctive limited edition and unique prints. Her 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 interested in structures that historically provide shelter - but may be more fragile than first assumed. Much of her subject matter is inspired by her immediate surroundings including Brockwell Park in Brixton and the architecture of her neighbourhood in Tulse Hill, as well as time spent in the English countryside. This print uses a Lotus flower as its starting point. Although the flower is best known as a feminine symbol of purity and rebirth, Katherine’s interpretation of it suggests a darker sensuality at play.
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 residency informed ‘We Grew the Long Bones’, a body of work exhibited by Oliver Projects 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. Katherine lives and works in south east London.
