About the Item

We acquired a series of works from Jane Gray's studio. To find more scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this seller." Jane Gray (b.1931) Stained Glass Design Watercolour 3 x 22.5 cm Provenance: the artist's studio sale This design for a two part stained glass window has an almost transcendental quality, the central spiralling structure hypnotically drawing the viewer’s gaze inwards. The design perfectly marries Gray’s spiritual and more abstract, secular works across her career. Jane Gray A.R.C.A. (b.1931) is a British stained glass artist. She studied stained glass at the Kingston School of Arts (1949-51) and later at the Royal College of Art (1951-55) under Lawrence Lee. Lee was so impressed with Gray’s work that he asked her to work alongside him on the design of ten nave windows for Coventry Cathedral. This six-year-long design project culminated in their final installation in 1962 after the cathedral’s consecration. Gray was the first woman to become a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and has designed more than a hundred windows in private and public buildings, chapels and over forty churches across the country, including St Peter’s, Martindale, Shrewsbury Abbey, St Oswald, Oswestry and St Mary, Chirk. Gray’s designs mark a crucial turning point in the history of stained glass art as the Victorian style gave way to a modern, aesthetic. In her work, Gray navigates this shift with a style that, whilst distinctly modern, retains a deep rooted sense of the medieval. Despite many of her commissions being for church windows, stained glass design was not simply about religious depiction for Gray, but more about ‘colour, shapes, luminosity, [and] playing with rainbows’.

Jane Gray (b.1931) Stained Glass Design Watercolour 11.5 x 11 cm Studio stamp verso Provenance: the artist's studio sale This uniquely shaped design for a domestic window centres on a sprawling pair of entangled floral branches that cover the small squared panels in an astute imitation of a trellis.
