FULLY BOOKED
In 2018, the painter Nicholas Jones made an extraordinary voyage along the coasts of Greenland and Baffin Island as ‘Artist in Residence’ with the Friends of the Scott Polar Research Institute. In this talk, Nick will reflect on his time in the Arctic and the ways he set about capturing some of those experiences on canvas back in the studio.
He will talk about the ways his landscape paintings have evolved over four decades through abstraction to figuration and back again, the challenges of painting the Northern Lights and why he never tires of seeking to evoke and celebrate the transient beauty of the natural world.
In 2022, Nick was the recipient of the Royal Geographical Societies Cherry Kearton Medal, awarded for ‘his ability to capture the uncapturable; the ever-changing display of light on landscape.’
An evening for all. View Nick’s exhibition 7pm – 7:30pm.
