About
the Artist:
Born in Neath, West Glamorgan, in 1941, Mike Jones lives
and paints in the Swansea Valley and has earned his reputation
for evocative portrayals of the Welsh landscape and its
people. His impressive interpretations range from the fishing
boats in the docks of Swansea to the isolated hill farms
in the valley and the Black Mountains.
Mike
Jones has exhibited widely throughout Wales for the last
ten years. Although essentially self-taught, Mike has a
drive to expand his knowledge and to push the boundaries
of his work.
He is constantly looking to evolve and this is surely the
sign of an important contribution to the contemporary art
scene in Wales.

WILL ROBERTS (June 1997)
I've been familiar with Mike Jones’ work for some
years, finding it always good, always imaginative. A talented
and sensitive worker, self-taught, but has studied well
without help or other guidance. Recent work of his has shown
great progress and is, indeed, in my view, first class.
He must stand well now along with the better Welsh painters".

JOSEF HERMAN also
thought highly of this Welsh artist, he said, “I am
impressed with the textures of his oil pastels. The figures
in black and white stay on in my mind. I am glad to learn
that the Albany Gallery ( in Cardiff ) are giving him an
exhibition. Like most Welshmen I know, he is very modest,
so I will spill it out - he is extremely gifted.”
( Josef Herman OBE, RA August 1998)
