Lucia Jones

Lucia Jones is a Welsh painter. Since graduating from Falmouth University, she has exhibited globally in solo and group exhibitions including BEEP Painting Prize 2018. She has also been long listed for a number of art prizes such as John Moores 2020, Jacksons Art Prize 2022 and 2023. Her work is currently held in private collections in the UK, USA, Austria and Hong Kong.

Jones’ practice explores memory and perception of self through the constructs of paint and film. Primarily utilising cinematic source imagery from obscure 1950s-90s b-movies, she addresses the intangible nature of memory and the shifting impressions of lived moments. Re-contextualising women from these sources, the paintings form a series of anonymised figures occupying fractured and fabricated environments. Liberated from their original medium and plains of existence, they are absorbed into the painted realm developed throughout her oeuvre; their context reconstructed and their world shaped around them, they act as cyphers to the experienced - to be glimpsed and examined.
