Philip Jones - J1's
Size :
"Peace of the Jigsaw" first appeared as part of my workshop in 2014 for Arts All Over the Place in Birmingham U.K. - part of the Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust (BSMFT) of which I was a Public Governor. I found the act of carefully hand painting old jigsaw pieces very relaxing, hence the spelling ‘peace’.
On Wednesday afternoon, 10th Jan 2024, a large jigsaw piece randomly came back into my life. I used it during the next two days and sketched it four times in pencil for this work during the first session. I then painted around this space with oils.
The result has left four gaps in the painting which now represent holes in the fabric of time, space and reality. This SHIFT IN REALITY is the ‘New Normal’ we have all gone through since 2020. Hence, ‘The Great Reset’. The missing pieces of the jigsaw are being given to us, spoon fed almost, one piece at a time. This allows a gradual change in consciousness so that our thinking can catch up with knowing the deep dark undercurrents of the ‘powers that be’ and their quiet removal from office.
‘From One Dimension to Another’ not only refers to a flat piece of jigsaw but the uplift in consciousness the planet is experiencing right now. Higher vibrations are raising Earth up to a Fifth Dimension, wherever that may be.
The artwork will be packed by Philip Jones - J1's, and orders are typically shipped within 48 hours of being accepted.
As part of our Artwork Protection Guarentee, once the order has been delivered, buyers will have 48 hours to request any returns for the reasons stated in our Returns policy.
Artist Profile – Philip Jones aka J1’s, is a contemporary artist from Birmingham, U.K. In preparing for each session, J1 first begins with a short contemplation often by singing HU (www.hearHU.org). J1’s style can best be described as Contemporary Spiritual work that endeavours to capture the moment and manifest Divine Love through Light and Sound. These two aspects of the Holy Spirit are reflected in the boldness of colour and the use of light to capture a feeling or vibration that resonates from the canvas. Often, abstract shapes and flows of colour form a background landscape that gradually reveals more detail. In other, more minimalistic work, colour and shape represent a spiritual or religious element. Yellow for example, signifies Heaven, whilst blue depicts the Holy Spirit. The shape of a sphere denotes Soul where-as the Blue Pearl specifically represents the Mahanta; a state of consciousness that acts as a bridge between the human and Divine. Working mainly with acrylics, the fast drying process allows for an intense, continuous flow. J1 uses the blank canvass as a pallet, directly applying and mixing paint with the confidence and swiftness of a jazz musician who mixes harmonies. Each piece has a life of its own and is composed of feelings, actions and a combination of colours in a very fluid and intuitive form. Like jazz, each session has an improvised and unexpected outcome making the Artwork unique and one of a kind.
