They might look twee at first, but Joseph Jones’s meticulous, small-scale oil paintings of cats and flowers have a wistfulness and softness to them. Based on Joseph Jones’s personal archive of found images, drawings and photographs, the artist hopes this new body of paintings might subtly evoke feelings of domestic care and nurture. Enigmatic and charming, the cat motif in Jones’s paintings might also reveal something of the owner. As Jean Cocteau once said “I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.”
