Andrew McNeile Jones studied fine art at Ruskin School of Art, at Oxford University, in the 1980s. He then trained in film making, working in London in a number of roles, and after some years becoming a producer and director. He then returned to painting full-time in the early 2000s, and moved back to Oxford with his young family. His film making experience gave him a deep interest in lighting and its power to help tell a story, particularly when combined with set design and the creation of ‘tableaux’ which contain a narrative element. He now incorporates these ideas into his painting. He has been represented by several London galleries, as well as a galleries in Paris and Glasgow. He has exhibited at many art fairs, in group shows, and in a handful of solo shows. He has won several prizes, including first prize in the ING Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries in 2022. He spent a large part of 2024 building a new studio close to his home, and is now enjoying the new space and the ability to work at a larger scale.
