Andrew McNeile Jones showed his work in The Chair Set showrooms at Antiques of Woodstock during Art in Woodstock - his exhibition almost completely sold out. Allan James, who runs the Chair Set, now has a permanent collection of Andrew's work in the showroom.

 

Andrew graduated from Oxford University's Ruskin School of Art, with a first in Fine Art, in the 1980s. He then trained as a filmmaker, working in all areas of the film and television business. He produced and directed dramas, documentaries and commercials. He shot in many countries around the world, and won numerous awards for his productions. Throughout this time he continued to paint, but in 2002 decided to leave the film business in order to be able to concentrate on his art. He now lives in Oxfordshire with his Wife and young family. He has exhibited regularly since 2003, and his work is in numeroous private collections around the UK.

 

 "I am aiming for a comtemporary kind of still life; a contemplative moment captured; light playing acorss the surface of objects making shapes that become strong, graphic - almost abstract - patterns. Sunlight through glass, reflecting on water or shummering through foliage. The objects are humble, simple, what comes to hand and catches the eye, made fascinating by careful study and a drenching of sun."

 

Andrew McNeile Jones' work is available at The Chair Set, Antiques of Woodstock, 18 Market Place, Woodstock
