Notes


Peter Jones was born in Birmingham, studied at Reading University, and now lives and works in London. Jones is best known for still-life paintings of vintage soft-toy animals which he collects for this purpose. Monkeys have been painted the most often, but lambs, dogs, birds and bunnies are favourite subjects too. Animals in art traditionally imply the beast within, but also variously symbolise by turns faith and faithfulness, innocence, playfulness, capriciousness and vulnerability. 

Jones says: “The category is Cats. The Lion Glove is one of an ongoing series of paintings of various vintage glove-puppet finds. My attraction to this particular piece was possibly seeing the poor creature as a strange and wry combination of mournful glamour and a marigold glove. And because Everybody Loves Puppets.”
