Ted Jones (Irish, 1952) - Sloth - 2003 - A contemporary limited edition print on paper painting. Limited edition number 148 / 250.

Apart from early instruction from his father, Ted was a completely self taught painter. He was encouraged to draw from a very early age and has nurtured and developed his immense talent into a style, which is unmistakably his own. His unique style likely owes a lot to the fact that he never attended Art College, instead left to his own devices his style evolved without influence, save the work of the great painters he admired so much, Klimt, Rossetti & Caravaggio. His first (and only) one-man exhibition in Killarney in 2005 sold out completely in a matter of hours, hitting the headlines in many Irish newspapers. 2006 saw the publication, by Killarney Art Gallery, of "A Life, Wrapped up" a signed limited edition book on his life and work.
