Through her practice, Sydney-based artist Tracey Jones explores the narrative power of objects, often turning her attention to the overlooked fragments of consumer culture. Using her intricate realist painting style, Jones creates powerful and atmospheric compositions, reimagining the concept of ‘used’, and imbuing even the most everyday items with a sense of the untold story.

In ‘Festivity Bottle I’, Jones creates an intriguing composition of a familiar scene. Through Jones’ eyes, an opened bottle of champagne, with red foil dramatically torn, appears almost deliberately contorted, akin perhaps to a vivacious red flower, emerging from a bouquet. Turning her lens on this otherwise discarded object, Jones encourages the viewer to suggest their own narrative - a celebratory moment, since passed, yet immortalised in this painted moment.

In the past five years, Jones has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions, and has been selected as a finalist in numerous national art prizes, including Bayside Acquisitive Art Prize, the Hornsby Art Prize, and the Meroogal Art Prize. For collectors of realist still life paintings, or those looking for something festive in their collection, Jones’ painting is a celebratory discovery.
