Rachel Jones: Gated Canyons

Dulwich Picture Gallery

Step into a world of bold colour and feeling in Gated Canyons, a new exhibition by British artist Rachel Jones. Known for her vibrant use of oil pastels and oil sticks, Jones creates striking, layered artworks that mix shapes, textures and symbols in powerful ways. Her paintings don’t tell a fixed story – they’re made to be felt, not explained. Inspired by everything from historic paintings to cartoons like Looney Tunes, her work plays with ideas of landscape, emotion, and the human body.

Until 19 October 2025
