Katherine Jones RA, Nights in the Forest, 2023 (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. Much of her subject matter is inspired by her immediate surroundings whether it be the urban architecture and local parks of her home in south east London, or - in relation to her latest works - time spent on an artistic residency in Kloster Bentlage, Germany, in the summer of 2023.
This framed oil painting is part of a new body of works being shown in our March 2014 exhibition ‘Drop Shadows’ at Sims Reed Gallery, London. Its title is a nod to Angela Carter’s ‘Nights at the Circus’, which was recently re-released with accompanying illustrations by fellow Royal Academician Eileen Cooper. Lush, dense and textured, this nocturnal work relates closely in terms of form and mark-making to another painting in the group; ‘July’. Both works celebrate - in the artist’s words - the ‘floppy, uber-floral and flouncy’ exuberance of flowers.
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. She lives and works in south east London.
