Silver Screen | 2024

In his show-stopping collection, Silver Screen, figurative artist Jon Jones pays tribute to some of the most memorable moments in film from the last 70 years. Depicting scenes from classic westerns and musicals, gritty crime thrillers, coming-of-age dramas and touching modern romances, the collection includes four signed limited editions and a selection of superb original works. Painted entirely in black and white, Jones strips away all distractions and distils each scene wholly down to its narrative core, shining the spotlight on the characters. Capturing a storyline, or the essence of an entire plot, in a single frame, he highlights the timelessness and universal appeal of these moments. They encourage us to reminisce about the first time we saw the movie; where we were, how we felt, who we were with. So, we’re not just seeing a scene from a film, we’re reliving our own moment of nostalgia every time we look at it.

Inside the dens of the Peaky Blinders | 2021

Born and bred in Birmingham, painter Jon Jones is no stranger to the city's dark side. For his Spring/Summer 2021 release, he has mixed fictional scenes with historical research (and a little artistic license) for four haunting new limited edition prints. In this article, he takes us through the backstreets of Birmingham and into the dens of the legendary Peaky Blinders gang. Shifting in time from the real-life reign of the Peaky Blinders in the late 19th century and early 1900s to the drama-filled scenes of World War One and the Prohibition years of the 1920s allowed Jon to frame his art in a new perspective. These hand-varnished canvasses are not just the result of intense research alongside the West Midlands Police Museum, but an exploration of the themes that defined the era, including family, survival and brotherhood. Like the smoky streets of Small Heath, where the gang ruled through violence and corruption, Jon's works are cloaked in shadow. The contrast between light and dark - also known as chiaroscuro - was recreated using the giclée printing process, which involves spraying microscopic dots of pigment-based ink to closely emulate the incredible detail of the original painting. Following this, the works were hand-embellished with a special combination of varnishes and gels to give them texture and depth.

The Darker side of History | 2020

As a teenager, Jon Jones was drawn to the darker side of history. Shunning playing football with his friends, he instead investigated his local pub in Kings Heath, Birmingham, where the landlord regaled historic tales of its use as a mortuary. This macabre curiosity is weaved into his newest collection of limited edition giclée on canvas prints, which depict the infamous Peaky Blinders gang. Incorporating his research alongside the curator of the West Midlands Police Museum, his Autumn Winter // 2020 series captures the murky underworld of the early 20th century. The monochromatic portraits are presented in striking dark frames, which elevate the shadows and add a haunting new dimension. We're also thrilled to be raising funds for the Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity through the sales of John's artworks. In December 2020, we were proud to present the hospital with a cheque for £4,541 - just in time for Christmas!  

"I want the eyes to be alive and the viewer to be connected. You can see a glint in someone’s eye and wonder what is going on."

The artist

Jon Jones

Figurative artist Jon has enjoyed sell-out success in both the UK and Australia. He has been shortlisted for several prestigious awards, including the BP Portrait Award hosted by the National Portrait Gallery in London. Often depicting celebrities or the Peaky Blinders gang, his haunting portraits are perfect for both traditional and contemporary spaces. A 50-metre mural created from his original paintings is currently on display outside Birmingham's New Street station to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Birmingham-based portraitist Jon Jones has an unquenchable passion for painting, and if something grabs his imagination, he gets right on with making an image. 'If I have an urge to paint something I will drop everything and paint it,' he says. 'Once I've started working on something I focus all of my energy on that, and often the person I'm painting will help me.'

Jon is a lover of history; growing up in Kings Heath, Birmingham, he was drawn to the darker side of the past and shunned playing football with his friends in favour of exploring the local Hare and Hounds pub, where the landlord regaled tales of hangings and said the cellar was used as a mortuary. As an adult, he went on to hold exhibitions based on prostitution in 18th century London and the history and meanings behind nursery rhymes.

He has worked extensively with the West Midlands Police Museum to explore the criminal underworld of 19th century Birmingham. Many of his haunting paintings delve into the history of the infamous Peaky Blinders gang, made famous by the successful BBC series of the same name.

These incredible monochrome pieces have become signature works for Jon, and there is a huge gallery of them in Birmingham's city centre, raising money for Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Jon's love of popular culture is seen throughout his art. The In My Life collection, named after the moving song by The Beatles, saw him reveal his personal icons. The works are a culmination of Jon's artistic influences, including pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, whose work was influenced by popular advertising and the comic book style of the early 1960s;  street artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, with his raw gestural style of painting with graffiti-like images and scrawled text, German artist Martin Kippenberger, with his irreverence and parody; Rembrandt, a personal hero of Jon's, considered one of the greatest storytellers in art and unusually gifted in capturing moods, and Joshua Reynolds, the leading portrait painter of the 18th Century.

A fan of comics and cartoons, Jon loves the power a cartoon can have on the viewer. 'The instant grab of attention and the ability to convey emotions so simplistically is not lost on me,' he explains. 'Nevertheless, I want my work to be more than just a quick line drawing, however well perceived or executed.'

Mark-making is something that Jon has mastered throughout his career, and it's how he creates representational artworks, using rough lines, marks and smudges to suggest the movement of the people he draws. 'By just using several marks I can construct a face and make someone instantly recognisable.  The looseness of my work is my way of taking a risk.

'As a portrait painter I strive to capture an expression, mood or feeling, but I also love the juxtaposition between my 'portrait' and the accompanying 'animated' portrait, it brings a sense of humour to the earnest.' 'These are personal paintings which if anything, I paint to make me smile, all the people portrayed have inspired, provoked, and interested me throughout my life.' And he really does mean all through his life - when he was very young, he was creating portraits of John Inman from Are You Being Served?; at the other end of the cultural scale he is a big fan of John Wayne. 'In difficult situations, such as during the Covid epidemic, I always think, 'What would John Wayne do?'.'

As Jon is working in his fascinating studio, full of treasures bought from car boot sales, he uses his work as time to think. 'Painting is a journey and a therapy,' he says. 'I never used to believe in art therapy, but now I do. When I'm in the studio, it's just me in silence, thinking about things and that time is an escape for me.
