About

Biography : About My Work : Some Past Exhibitions

Andrew McNeile Jones graduated from Oxford University’s Ruskin School of Art, with a first in Fine Art, in the 1980’s. He then trained as a filmmaker, working in all areas of the film and television business. He produced and directed dramas, documentaries and commercials. He shot in many countries around the world, and won numerous awards for his productions . . .
. . . . In 2002, he decided to leave the film business in order to return to painting.

Since then, he has lived in Oxfordshire with his wife and young family. He has exhibited regularly in several galleries in the UK and France, and his work is in numerous private collections across Europe, and various points from San Francisco to St. Petersburg

In 2007, he won first prize in a Fine Art Trade Guild competition.
He has been a prizewinner with various publications including International Artist, Artist & Illustrator and State magazine.

He has been commissioned to produce some paintings and drawings for Harrods department store, which for several years featured on some of their products.

His work is to be seen regularly at the major art fairs in London and across Europe.

He has been profiled in a number of publications, including Art Of England, Homes and Gardens, Art Business Today, as well as being interviewed on BBC Oxford.

In 2017, he started developing a new body of work alongside his distinctive closely-observed interiors.
The new work is more gestural, semi-figurative in nature, using old photographs, cuttings and observed fragments as a source for more emotional, thought provoking paintings.

In November 2022, he won first prize in the annual ING Discerning Eye exhibition at The Mall Galleries, London.

He is now represented in London by Noon-Powell Fine Art in Notting Hill.
