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."
