Jones' work explores the materiality of paint in relation to memory, primarily utilising cinematic source imagery of 90s romantic comedies and cult classics as a means to address the intangible nature of nostalgia through the constructs of film and painting. Impersonal and personal all at once, they allude to fragmented space whilst conjuring an internalised or other world. Her longstanding exploration of the materiality of paint in relation to memory continues in this work, harnessing aspects of surface detail as a painterly vehicle to grasp at the intangible.' Painted for Jones' recent solo exhibition 'Tales from the Cutting Room Floor', the work draws on themes of love and romance. With a sense of dreamlike recollection and alluding to rose-tinted glasses through the garb of the couple, this painting was one of the earlier pieces created for the exhibition. The no-place, liminal space in which the figures inhabit emerged in this work and spread to others. The figures themselves were the result of another visitation to an old catalogue from the Wallace collection while sitting in the studio. Commedia dell'arte has been a longstanding subject of artists and the tropes used by the classical Italian theatre feed into Jones' interest of using symbolic people to convey her own memories. The painting also, thusly, references Jones' Italian heritage.

Lucia Jones is a UK based artist. Jones' work explores the materiality of paint in relation to memory. Her most recent paintings primarily utilise cinematic source imagery of 90s romantic comedies and cult classics as a means to address the intangible nature of nostalgia through the constructs of film and painting. Impersonal and personal all at once, they allude to fragmented space whilst conjuring an internalised or other world. Glimpses of bare canvas root the paintings into our physical reality whilst the paint formulates its own; slivers of the imagined and real sit on the surface of the canvas serving as artefacts of the seen and the experienced. Jones has been shortlisted for several accolades on the British art scene, exhibiting nationwide and selling internationally. Highlights include exhibiting at the iconic Mall Galleries in London and Penwith Gallery in St Ives. Her work is held in collections in the USA, Hong Kong, Austria as well as the UK.
