Reece Jones

(b 1976, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Jones's process-led practice challenges preconceptions of drawing and traditional materials. His drawings are somewhat cinematic or mechanical in appearance; giving the impression of being taken directly from a filmic or photographic source. His imagery is often reinvented or abstracted from a varied range of archival material. More broadly; Jones use of charcoal scraped back with a blade and barely there watercolour give a sense of shifting impermance to reference intangible; uncertain spaces; objects and ideas; Recurrent themes in his work include the sublime; the American wilderness; modernism; land art; archaeology; cinema; mythology; spectacle; photography and the illusive nature of time.
