Jane Langley's sensual paintings and drawings are full of colour and decorative detail. Using the notion of 'craft' as a model, Jane
combines iconography from a diverse range of influences: embroidery morphs into technology, networks become root systems, primitive plant forms glide through dress pockets and grids mark out spaces populated by planets and lizards. Patchworks of colour magnetically attract each other as if a subatomic construction process is taking place, nudging the homespun into a hypothetical new world. Jane also makes intricate water colour drawings of clouds, formed in cross stitch. These map like drawings shift and fracture, unsettling the comfortable domesticity of the stitch.

Jane studied an MA in fine art at The Royal College of Art and has won several awards, including the Abbey Scholarship, Accademia Britannica, Rome, Sotheby's Fellowship, Central St Martin's School of Art and the Henry Moore Prize for Painting. Her work has been exhibited widely and internationally including a solo show at Sotheby's an group shows at the Victoria & Albert Museum, The Whitechapel Gallery and the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture.
