“Jones has a natural intuition for harmony and rhythm, creating canvases filled with bold, colourful brush strokes, deliberately imprecise. These create a macrocosm of tangible organic shapes, where unscripted lines dance in and out of view, pulsing with an excitement that cannot be contained within their frames. They burst with a lush, rich intensity of colour, pushing deep tones back and pulling lighter marks forward. Each painting has its own rhythmic composition, underpinned by the musical influences in the artist’s studio practice -a driving force for her confident brushstrokes, conveying powerful deliberation behind spontaneous gesture and continual movement. The forms reflect the “busy”ness of contemporary life and movement in travel; the lushness and beauty of the surfaces, colours and textures; and the spiritually emotive effect-of the Old Master paintings the artist was seeing daily.
The result is a sense of ambience in weightless space creating moments of quiet in works that speak volumes. Underpinned by a maximalist ethos, these works give the viewer so much more that it is impossible to stand before the work without a quiet moment of awe.” ”

“Jones contorts colour until it becomes tangible, moving harmoniously with music one can only wish to hear. Her practice of abstract expressionism is rooted in skilful application of paint that depicts more than just an object but something from within....She has sought to personalise abstraction by emphasising the paint brush as an extension of her hand, a stream of pure consciousness flowing from artist to canvas....The moment of creation is fleeting, but the energy captured in these paintings lives on. Her works unfold themselves to the viewer in a flirtatious push and pull. The more you stare at them, the more they will reveal...The paintings are somehow as tactile as they are visual. One can feel the surface of each work, sense the texture, without ever touching them.”

“Like a vague perception of a memory long held, Jones’s works are more akin to a sensory experience of environment than a precise replication. Energized by her experimentations with tone and gesture, Jones sets out to create something contemplative and abstract from her experiences – inspired not only by her physical surroundings, but by the general milieu of cultural references, life events, human interactions and emotional responses she observes.
The fluidity of Jones’ brushwork reflects the intangible, magical quality of nostalgia, but so too does it reflect the vital importance of music in Jones’ practice. A lover of contemporary composers, and heavily rhythmic or repetitious arrangements, Jones uses music as a way of focusing her mind and immersing herself wholly in the creative process. Embracing colour and motion as her dance partners, Jones records the actions of her body, and by extension her brushstroke, as it moves in response to the music. The more inventive the melody, the more spontaneous and primal her painting. The result is a revelation about her emotions ... and the potential of colour and paint to be transcendent.
... Jones’ ability to embrace the unknowing of gestural mark making rejuvenates her art practice daily, making for a dynamic exploration of colour, process, musicality and movement. Informed by theory, but inclined towards intuitive thinking, Jones has created ...works that brim with radiant self-possession, conveying the personal and internal in an intense demonstration of what it means to be alive in the world.

But it has made me happy.”

“Loving my painting it is up already and is exactly what I expected. Thank you. The drawing is also beautiful and will need to wait for a frame but I love it as well.”

“I needed a fairly large painting in yellow tones to decorate my lounge room. I found what I was looking for in one of Gabrielle’s oil painting. The composition and tones of the painting matched perfectly the look I wanted to create.
