Dan PARRY-JONES
Bristol based artist Dan Parry-Jones initially trained in Illustration and Graphic Design, before turning to painting in 2008. Dan produces expressive mixed media landscapes and townscapes, taking inspiration from the gritty urban surroundings of the city, as well as the beauty of the south-west coastline. He has found inspiration in the bustling market places of North African and European cities such as Marrakech, and Barcelona. His increasingly abstract backgrounds are constructed with a heavily textured, impasto technique in acrylics and oils with added typography, collage and silkscreen elements.
The surface is sanded, stripped back, re-worked and finally varnished to seal the final layer.
His work has been widely exhibited at major art fairs and gallery shows in Europe, Asia and the USA.
