Paul Jones

Paul was a scholarship student at Bath Academy of Art, Corsham at a time when Adrian Heath, Robyn Denny and Howard Hodgkin were his tutors. After achieving his National Diploma in Design he taught Art and Pottery at Bournville Grammar School and in 1969 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

A career change to Graphic Design led to him relocating to Dorset where he had his first major exhibition in 1979. The move to Dorset provided his first encounter with the chalk laden downland and coastline that continues to inspire much of his work.

The quality of light, conditioned by the chalk downland has been a significant influence. Stones, rocks and Purbeck's amazing coastline with its intricate detail and sweeping switchback scale, textures and shapes were absorbed into his visual vocabulary. In response he created new techniques in an attempt to record the myriad surfaces he was experiencing.

Prolific by nature, he exhibits nationally and, along with numerous private patrons, has work held in collections at Eldridge Pope, Longleat House, Dorset Council, 3Ms and UNESCO.
