David Rhys Jones trained at Central Saint Martins and has exhibited widely, including The V&A Museum, the Royal Academy of Arts and the Courtauld Institute. He was joint winner of the Jerwood Prize in 2010, and his work is held in many private and public collections, including the Tate.

His inspiration is drawn from journeys, site-specific locations, and collected artefacts; they are researched and recorded using photography and drawings. The reference material becomes an object, a hybrid of sculpture and image; creating a narrative for the viewer to explore.
