The Art of Stillness
Light-filled paintings and prints
evoking the beauty of the natural world.
As a painter and printmaker, I aim to evoke the fragile beauty of the natural world. These images invite contemplation, revealing their secrets slowly. May they offer you moments of inner stillness and help you see the world’s wonder with fresh eyes.

An Art Critic’s View on the paintings of Nicholas JOnes
"Nicholas Jones is among those who believe that it is still possible to say something meaningful and exciting by applying paint to canvas. Braver still, he chooses to work within the long tradition of landscape painting that has flourished with particular vigour in this country. There is within [his landscapes] the same identification with the spirit of place that permeates the great line of English landscapists, from the Norfolk School through Turner and Samuel Palmer to Paul Nash and the neo-Romantics led by Graham Sutherland, and some members of the St Ives school, notably Peter Lanyon."

Fine Art Prints of Nicholas Jones’ Arctic Paintings
Nicholas Jones
Nicholas Jones was born in Bristol in 1965 and studied Fine Art in the city. His luminous paintings and prints explore light, landscape, and abstraction, offering a sense of stillness and quiet contemplation.
Initially inspired by the British countryside, Nick’s work evolved after visits to the Arctic, where the vastness, silence, and mesmerising light of the region profoundly influenced his artistic vision. In 2018, he was appointed Arctic Artist in Residence with the Scott Polar Research Institute, and his subsequent paintings earned him the Royal Geographical Society’s Cherry Kearton Medal.
Nick’s art provides a refuge from the relentless noise of modern life, inviting viewers into a space of quiet beauty. He has been represented by the Crane Kalman Gallery in London for over thirty years and works from his studio near Bristol.
