Oliver Jones at Pershore Abbey
17 February - 30 March 2022
No booking is required.
About the exhibition
After a highly successful showing at National Trust’s Berrington Hall as part of the exhibition ‘Skin Deep,’ two important works by Oliver Jones are being shown at Pershore Abbey for a limited period.
Oliver Jones works in pastel chalk, a medium commonly associated with intimate portraiture and gentle landscapes, rather than large formats or monumental triptychs. His works defy expectations: they are large, but also highly charged.
The two works, #motherandchild and Divine have been selected as they undoubtedly present similarities with certain forms of religious art. The pieces address how different forms of communication can contain social messages about who we are and how we relate to each other. In these cases, looking at body image, the impact of social media and self-image/self-worth.
