John Jones

Jealous Gallery and Print Studio are dealers and publishers of limited edition prints, and are valued clients of the John Jones frame design team. Based in Crouch End, Jealous work with upcoming artists to create unique print editions, and display a continuously changing program of exhibitions. From 29th January to 5th February, Jealous will be hosting a pop-up print studio in the window of Heal’s on Tottenham Court Road, where original and limited edition artworks will be created. The window space will be split into three distinct areas, each of which will host 3-4 artists. The artists and Jealous team will be printing live throughout the week, and this interactive project will allow visitors to get involved by personalising and printing their own editions. This event is a great opportunity to meet the artists that the gallery work with, including Jayoon Choi, Andrew Curtis and Diana Taylor. You do not need tickets to attend or take part in the print studio activities, and visitors can also pick up a limited edition artwork!

Hajra Waheed
Untitled (from The Scrapbook Project), 2011
Mixed media on paper
34 x 27 cm

The Scrapbook Project is the first UK solo exhibition of work by contemporary artist Hajra Waheed. In recent years, Hajra’s work has focused upon single and multi page visual diaries, reconstructing personal and public histories and memories from her experiences in the Middle East and North America. This collection includes drawn transfers, paintings, collages and Polaroid film on aged paper. These delicate works act as archives for the individuals lost amongst the rapid development or political strife of the Middle East. Hajra Waheed was born in Canada to Indian parents and raised in Saudi ARAMCO, home to a quarter of the world’s oil exports. The area is therefore protected by American and Saudi air bases and has strict regulations regarding access and use of civilian photographic equipment. Living in this environment of secrecy and isolation through the end of the Cold War and first Gulf War has undoubtedly affected her work, resulting in a secret visual language of her observations. John Jones are pleased to have a series of work entitled ‘passport photographs’ by this talented artist in our permanent art collection

John Jones are pleased to be working with contemporary artist Annie Morris to frame her latest exhibition at Pertwee Anderson and Gold Gallery. ‘There is a land called loss’ showcases new large-scale ink drawings, sculpture, watercolours and 34 smaller works on paper. Morris has chosen to deal with the traumatic subject matter of stillbirth, which she has sadly experienced. Large scale drawings produced with a fine point ink pen and watercolour collage have been produced over the last year, and reflect a period of sadness, loss and hope in the artist’s life. In her drawings, Annie creates a detailed world filled with rich shading and abstract female figures. Black and white egg shaped sacks seem to weigh down the figures in a forest of leafless trees. The compositions become a tumbling landscape with no foreground or background, capturing a world that exposes the tragedy of life, love and loss.

Each drawing has been framed using a lay-on design presentation template, delicately securing each artwork onto a warm white museum standard backing. The wooden frames have been cut and moulded into a clean and contemporary square profile design, coated with a white wash spray. Continuing the artist’s extensive use of white into the frame design further heightens the emotional energy of the works, creating a dramatic collection which has been protected with high quality materials and framing techniques.
