Other artwork available from Dan Parry-Jones
Along with the exclsuive print for Bristol24/7 readers of Beauty From Ashes, our June Artist of the Month Dan Parry-Jones is now also selling a limited edition run of his other work in 50X70cm or 60X60cm through our online shop. Ten percent of the revenue will also be going to the Child Brain Injury Trust.
Working with various artistic techniques, Dan creates art that has both variety in design and a colourful, layered unique style.
“Some paintings will be almost covered by screen-print, others are more sparsely printed on and show more paint and collage,” Dan says.
is needed now More than ever
“Each painting is composed of several layers as I scratch, sand, strip back, re-work and re-apply the different media, before finally varnishing the piece to seal it.”
Cross-disciplinary is a term that Dan greatly prefers over other descriptions of his method. “I don’t like the term ‘mixed media’ as it reminds me of school projects sticking bits of pasta to cardboard with pva…”
Being a father, this is something Dan is familiar with. He recalls sharing his work with his children fondly: “Driving in the rain with my kids one evening and seeing a big painting of mine filling the window of a gallery with a spotlight on it. Kids were very excited (they were both in the painting!) I hadn’t long been exhibiting with galleries and it was a great feeling.”
We are pleased to be donating 10 per cent of revenue from these pieces to the Child Brain Injury Trust, an organisation that Dan has worked with before.
“I recently did some illustration for this charity which helps families of kids who have damaged their brain through illness or injury and helps them come to terms with what has happened and helps to implement appropriate support strategies.”
