STEPPING OUT INTO A WORLD BEYOND
LANDSCAPES BY LUCY JONES
Introductory and explanatory texts by William Packer, Matthew Collings and Lucy Jones
In the late twentieth and early twenty-first century in the Western Hemisphere painting as a mode of expression has to some extent been overshadowed by conceptual turns in the art world. However during this time there have been some artists undeterred by this potent swing in trends. Lucy Jones is one such artist who, since leaving the Royal College of Art, London, in 1982, has forged her own independent path making paintings that are fuelled by her fervent response to her inner and outer worlds. In this second comprehensive study of her work the focus is on her landscape painting. Sumptuous reproductions catalogue a collection of these remarkable canvases, accompanied by three essays: an introduction by the eminent art critic William Packer, an appraisal of the work by the artist and writer Matthew Collings and, finally, Lucy Jones, in her own words, explaining how and why she is stepping out into a world beyond. Through these texts we learn how Lucy's mode of operation relates to the work of other artists in the tradition of landscape painting and to that of her peers. But more importantly we see that she is a sophisticated practitioner making work that is impressive and undeniably beautiful and that, as Lucy indulges in all that is paint, we the critical viewer should pay homage by indulging in all that we see.
