MYRON JONES | Toward the Light
Minimalist and representational landscapes in the Eve Smart Gallery, based on the local coastline and other areas abroad span a period of years, highlighting the development of a style and a variety of interpretations of place and the coastal landscape. Watercolours, fine lines, and carefully chosen colours lend themselves to the visual effects of light and weather on the landscapes captured. In his work Myron Jones distills the core elements of the countryside or seaside around him, carefully constructing landscapes with an emphasis on form, simplicity, minimalism occasionally bordering on abstraction, and the visual effects of light and weather.
Myron Jones is a local artist who grew up in rural southern Ontario, where he developed a natural connection to the landscapes around him, an impression and influence that has remained an integral part of his practice throughout his career as an artist. After graduating from art school in Toronto, Jones relocated to Canada’ west coast, where he began to work on pieces capturing the layered landscapes of coastal fjords and the ocean and tidal flats. He has completed a number of artist residencies in Italy, France, Ireland, Newfoundland, and Denmark, and has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions in Vancouver and Toronto.
