Reece Jones

One of the founding members and curators of The Rockwell Project in Hackney, Botswana-born artist Reece Jones makes large-scale, process-based drawings using charcoal. Building up and erasing layers of black and grey, Jones creates complex invented landscape and systems of light that appear like memories or dreamscapes. The tonality, texture and substance of these fictional spaces is constantly in flux throughout a process of charcoal application, and sandpaper abrasion—resulting in eerie, yet atmospheric monochrome landscapes. Says the artist of his subject matter, "I’ve been interested in landscape for a while, more specifically, in invented landscapes. I’ve always loved certain film directors’ use of space. 

Jones has shown his work in a number of solo and group exhibitions in London and abroad, including All Visual Arts, Simon Dickinson, Andrew Mummery Gallery, and Paul Stolper, London, Triumph Gallery, Moscow, Stephane Simoens, Knokke-Zoute, Belgium, and Garboushian Gallery, Los Angeles.
