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.
This work explores the layered complexities of city life through reflections and silhouettes, capturing moments that seem at once both intimate and anonymous.
The paintings capture the spaces where interior and exterior overlap—faces caught in a café window, figures reflected in glass buildings, glimpses of individuals moving through shadows.
These layered perspectives hint at the ways urban environments shape us, sometimes isolating us while at other times creating unexpected, beautiful connections.
In November 2022, he won first prize in the annual ING Discerning Eye exhibition at The Mall Galleries, London.
He was shortlisted for the Cass Art Prize in 2025
