Rising Tide | Dylan Jones
8 November - 3 December, 2022
Jan Manton Gallery is proud to present Rising Tide by Dylan Jones showing between 8 November - 3 December, 2022. Rising Tide revisits Jones’ fondness for Moreton Island (Mulgumpin); a place that is home to many childhood memories. In his youth, Moreton Island was a frequent camping spot for Jones and his family. The minimal and subdued gouache paintings reference the more dismal days where dark clouds loomed over the island.
Portraying Moreton Island from the perspectives of both sea and land, Jones captures the vastness and ruggedness of landscape whilst inducing a sense of calm and stillness.
“The island itself is dense in vegetation yet the ocean is so vast. I wanted to capture this juxtaposition and contrast. The paintings are constructed from re-imaginings of my childhood years visiting the island by boat or standing on the island looking out to the endless horizon.” — Dylan Jones
