Emotional Landscapes

A New Collection by Elaine Jones

8th November - 9th December

The latest paintings from Elaine Jones are landscapes drawn from memory, imagination and vivid experience. Nuanced and layered, powerful yet tranquil, these are works that delve beneath the immediate, observed world.

 Elaine is fascinated by the underlying structures of nature and the silent, elusive spaces that radiate tension and meaning. She is continually drawn to her local, familiar wild places that are charged with memory and provide a kind of visual, emotional core to her work. In contrast, recent travels to the mountains of Portugal and Spain have provided more remote source material, where the isolation, sheer scale and raw elemental energy add further dimensions; new emotive force.

Here Elaine is using a fresh palette of colours that embraces both autumnal warmth and the deep earthy tones of recently fire-scorched Mediterranean woodlands and mountains. There is a subtle balance between destruction and regeneration and ultimately a palpable sense of renewal – of nature’s cycle turning.
