ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:

Nicholas Jones is a British artist who “finds icebergs extraordinarily beautiful and moving to look at. They seem so composed and contained, utterly at ease and wonderfully responsive to the changing light and colour of the sea. In “Dawn Light, Cape Mercy, Baffin Island, 2019″ a berg sits serenely in the calm waters below the rugged, coastal cliffs of Baffin Island, which reflect the evening light in their own unique way.”

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

Nicholas Jones is a British landscape painter, who for the last three decades has explored the rich terrain between abstraction and figuration. Nicholas’s most recent work has focused on the Arctic and the fascinating way in which such a rich and varied beauty can be created from the simplest of elements: ice, rock, water and light. His appointment in 2018 as ‘Arctic Artist in Residence’ with the Scott Polar Research Institute provided him with a wonderful opportunity to immerse himself in the light and landscape of the region and was the catalyst for a significant new body of work.
