British contemporary artist Jonquil Williamson is known for her vibrant still lifes and rich tonal landscapes. Although her work is mostly representational, she allows the mark-making and textures created as she layers the paint, to inform the image. Colour is the dominant driver behind all her works,
Of her work she shares, “like many still life painters, I find inspiration from taking everyday things and elevating to something beautiful and positive. I strive to create an atmosphere with my works; from the calmness and serenity of Morandi-inspired clusters of pots and vessels, to the uplifting and cheerful vibrancy of fruits and foliage. My focus is the sense of place, or essence of the object rather than a strict representation of it”.
Jonquil was shortlisted for the Visual Art Open Prize in 2017 & 2018. She has exhibited extensively in London, as well as at Affordable Art Fairs in Europe and the UK.
