PETER ASHTON JONES : NAIVE AND SENTIMENTAL PAINTING

8 Feb-9 Mar 2018

Eagle Gallery
London EC1R 3AL

Overview

The Eagle Gallery is delighted to be holding our first solo exhibition with the London based painter Peter Ashton Jones. Co-founder of Turps Banana magazine and curator of a number of notable exhibitions for the Nunnery and Lion and Lamb galleries, Ashton Jones’s practice is deeply informed by contemporary debates around painting, yet retains a clear engagement with art of the past. Breughel’s Hunters in the Snow, with its humanistic incidents laid out in almost diagrammatic form, is a central motif amongst the many visual references that abound in Ashton Jones’s rich and eloquent paintings.
