Congratulations to Katherine Jones, who has just been selected as a Royal Academician, joining the ranks of some of the greatest names in contemporary art and architecture. The artist’s work is collected around the world, from the Victoria & Albert Museum and the House of Lords in London, to Yale University in the US.
Katherine Jones previously showed with us at New Blood Art and you can see our 2013 investment tip on Katherine here, where 9 years ago we were spotlighting her as an artist on her way to recognition, whose value would increase as a result.
On announcing her selection the Academy notes that her “artistic practice is underpinned by drawing and painting, and concluded in multi-layered painterly prints which bring together disparate narratives in hyper-real or folkloric spaces.”
This is part of a flurry of happenings around Katherine Jones’ art this Spring/Summer season, marking the next stage in this talented printmakers career and increased investment potential. The show ‘Escape Routes’ will be at Oliver Projects May 13-15th (then by appointment only until June 6th), and Katherine will be showing with Rabley Gallery at the London Original Print Fair at Somerset House in May.
Katherine also recently contributed the printmaking section to The Artist’s Manual.
