Edward Jones, b.2000, is a contemporary painter from the North West of England.

With a heavy emphasis on depicting mountainous regions, he explores familiar areas of Snowdonia as well as those further afield, using an analogue camera to capture moments from his expeditions. A prolific output of photography, drawing and painting leads to large scale oil paintings on canvas. Layering tonally similar colours, which he works up to achieve a darkness in the palette that produces an ambiguous sense of light, Jones’ depicted subjects are not fixed in a specific time or space. Non-systematic patterns are embedded into the final layer, a form of surface camouflage that encourages the pictorial experience to unravel over time.

The introspective, quiet and foreboding images respond to long exposure within cold and bleak environments, contrasting the character of London, where Jones now lives and works. Whilst a romanticised view on his work may be applicable, the paintings are rather about formal decision making in his studio, and discreet chromatic choices in an arrangement of landscape tropes.
