Drawing inspiration from mountainous regions and barren uplands, Edward Jones' process includes drawing, painting and analogue photography, which result in large canvases that heave with muted colours and evocative outlines. This is an idea of landscape informed by a whorl of influences — historical, aesthetic and psychological — creating a finished work that plays with an ambiguous sense of space, place and time. These are as much internal landscapes as they are depictions of any 'real' places, and although Edward's landscapes include no human figures, 'Near A Petrol Station' attests to their unseen presence. Not only does the quotidian title situate the viewer geographically, the looming streetlamp visible in the left side of the composition offers an inescapable awareness of the Anthropocene, at once an imposition on the landscape and an integral part of it. The deep, heavy tonalities of 'Near A Petrol Station', 'Court Behind Trees' and Torres Del Paine Study I' are at once gloomy and luminous, alien and yet, in their natural formations, hauntingly familiar. This layered, tonal style is present in works beyond deep oils, such as 'Ogwen Seeing Stones, 1 Of 4 Variable Edition', with delicate linework and evocative scene-making, blurring the line between the perceived and the imagined. Edward is a 2023 City and Guilds of London Art School graduate.
