New & Noteworthy Artist

Jane Pryor is a British painter known for her abstract acrylic compositions.

Jane’s style is informed by the idea of ‘the opportune moment’ and the ‘space between’.

Jane’s refined technique enables her to create work which is at once balanced and harmonious and yet shifting and spontaneous.

Style and Approach

Jane Pryor works in non-objective abstraction across painting and sculpture. Chance and spontaneity play a central role in her practice: each work evolves gradually through intuitive associations, where forms and fragments respond to one another. The notion of Kairos, the opportune moment, guides her process; she allows gestures and ideas to meet without a predetermined plan, building towards a balanced resolution.

Colour and shape are her essential materials. In recent works such as Daydream Believer 3, elements collide, touch and reorganise themselves, creating subtle tensions and an emotional resonance that invites the viewer’s eye to roam freely.
