'Aurora' Exhibition at Nature in Art
Tuesday 10 November – Sunday 13 December 2026
Aurora, an exhibition showcasing a body of work by artist Nick Jones.
We will be presenting two galleries of paintings by Nick Jones, made between 2015 and 2020, drawn from his long fascination with landscape, light and the far north. Bringing together Jones's aurora paintings, as well as paintings of optical phenomena of Arctic skies: halos, coronas, parhelia, fog-bows and rainbows (the last increasingly seen as rain becomes more common in a warming Arctic), formed as sunlight passes through the ice crystals, water droplets and mist that fill the polar air. The results are quiet, luminous works that seek to evoke the mesmerising experience of standing beneath the aurora.
Across both galleries, Jones’s work traces not just what these phenomena look like but evokes something of the wonder and mystery that those lucky enough to have seen them have long described.
To coincide with this exhibition, Nick Jones will also be giving a talk at Nature in Art on 24 November, sharing more of the story behind both bodies of work. To book a ticket, see link below.
