Peter Jones The Alligator, 2020 Oil on paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Peter Jones (born 1968, Birmingham, UK) studied fine art at Reading University (1988-1992). In 2006 Peter held his first solo shows at FRED in London and concurrently at the sister gallery in Leipzig. The Monkey Paintings series first shown at these two exhibitions confirmed Peter's reputation as an artist and earned him an enthusiastic following. The Monkey in Art traditionally symbolises the primitive beast within us, but is also by turns capricious, playful, and vulnerable. The Monkey paintings were followed by a group of lambs, dogs, and an ongoing series of various animal portraits including bunnies, birds, and other endangered wild species. The found vintage-toy subjects of these still-life paintings collected for this purpose are chosen because of their potential to be transformed by painting, and because they possess or imply innocence, faithfulness, or disillusionment.
