RION JACOBS

Rion Jacobs studied at London College of Fashion and went on to enjoy a long and successful career in fashion and design. She has been creating silkscreen prints for over fifteen years now, returning to an earlier passion for painting and image making.  Inspired by the crystalline light of South West France, where she spends much of her time, and applying a love of vibrant tones to her work, she produces joyful prints full of light and colour, with a great sense of balance and harmony. Rion particularly likes the medium of silkscreen printing because of the subtle quality achieved by building up translucent layers of colour. She adds graphic elements to her work, often through the application of paint directly on to the screen. The resulting work combines expressiveness with a clean and crisp aesthetic.
