Stuart Jones

Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

I have been practicing as an artist for 25 years. I am originally from the North West of England, I studied Fine Art at Leeds Metropolitan University, but I now live and work out of a studio in Herfordshire. I work in mainly oil paint and mixed media on canvas, my work is informed by the urban and rural landscape and ideas of utopia, dystopia, the sublime and the Anthropocene. I explore the complex relationship between human life and the natural environment, portraying a world that is dramatic and beautiful but also constantly changing due to the climate crisis.

I was a Digswell Arts Fellow (2017-2024) and I have been shortlisted for the Beep Painting Prize (2022), John Moores Painting Prize (20200 and awarded the Contemporary Arts Trust Prize (2019)
