Robert Jones was born in Cornwall in 1943 and attended Falmouth School of Art where he was taught by Francis Hewlett and Robert Organ. The impressions he gained in Cornwall of changing weather and light, wild seas and skies, and of wind blown trees, are a recurring theme in his work. His paintings draw on a divers career, school teacher, college tutor, trawler skipper, furniture maker, author and professional artist. Robert has exhibited widely throughout Cornwall and in many “up country” locations including Stow-on-the-Wold and Cork Street, London. He has also painted extensively in the Mediterranean region, in Ireland and various parts of America. “Sun, Wind and Weather” is his third solo show at The Great Atlantic Map Works Gallery, St Just-in-Penwith. His recent book “Alfred Wallis Artist and Mariner” was awarded the prize “for the outstanding publication about Cornwall” by the Cornish Gorsedd in 2002.
