Graham Jones, 2018Reason for highlighting
This small window captures the virtuosity of Graham Jones’s stained glass painting and colour composition. Several people have said it reminds them of a Chagall window.
Artist/maker notes
Graham Jones (b. 1958) studied stained glass at Swansea College of Art, where he won both the major prizes for stained glass students, and completed his first commission. He has since gone on to produce work for religious, corporate and civic buildings around the world. Initially he worked exclusively in leaded glass, but then increasingly began using enamelled colour on large panels of float glass. A liberating experience, which has also encouraged others to explore new possibilities in stained glass.
