In this work, Tim Jones imagines a martian landscape. It is mining country in outback Australia, overlooked by a twisting crane – a stairway to tempestuous skies.

Jones is an established wood-engraver, sculptor and artist. He has exhibited across the National Gallery of Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Gallery and Deakin University. In his work, Jones captures the essence of solitary thought – mystery and illusion abounds. There is almost an eerie quality, reminiscent of the untouched landscapes he inhabited as a boy in Celtic Wales.

For collectors of paintings and contemporary Australian art, ‘The car in Australasia’, represented at the National Gallery of Australia is a striking find.
