Stained Glass Design
Watercolour
D. 14 cm
Signed and studio stamp verso
Provenance: the artist's studio sale
St John's Church was built in 1861 under the patronage of the third Earl of Powys to provide for the religious needs of the largely industrial population of Pool Quay. The church was originally designed in the Early English style but was extensively restored first in 1956 and again in 2003/4. Despite this, it still retains its unique charm, built in the instantly recognisable red Sweeney Mountain sandstone, and features stained glass windows by Winfield of Birmingham (1891) and Camm of Smethwick (1899). This design by Gray features eight lights containing attributes of St John and other Christian symbols.
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’.
