Henry Wanton Jones – Artist Biography
Gallery Gevik is pleased to represent the works of the painter Henry Wanton (Jimmy) Jones. Whimsical canvases feature his signature horses and riders, nudes, self-portraits, still-lifes, equestriennes, masked strangers and dogs, all filtered by a hybrid Mexican/Canadian twilight. They present a blend of eerie humour that is coupled with passion and desire, a dark eroticism that one cannot escape.
Born in 1925 in Waterloo Quebec, Henry Wanton Jones studied at the Art School of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts under Group of Seven alumnus, Arthur Lismer. He has held solo exhibitions in prestigious galleries in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, beginning with Agnes Lefort Gallery in 1953. In 1956 he began exhibiting with the Canadian Group of Painters. In 1963 he won First Prize at the Canadian Group of Painters Exhibition held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. He has taught at McGill University and Concordia University (then Sir George Williams) and is represented in many private and public collections in North America.
