Dan Parry-Jones
biography
Dan creates his distinctive paintings in his studio at Bristol’s Jamaica Street Studios, in Stokes Croft, the cultural heart of the city. Dan’s expressive, mixed media landscapes reflect his immediate surroundings, drawing upon the beauty of the South West coastline in some pieces, while in others the backgrounds suggest a grittier, more urban feel.
Dan trained and worked in Illustration and Graphic design before turning to painting in 2008. His mixed media paintings combine layers of impasto palette knife backgrounds with elements of typography and collage as well as screen printed detail. 2010 saw Dan’s first solo exhibition in Bath; he has since exhibited his work in galleries across the UK and Ireland and has taken part in shows in Europe, Asia and the United States.
