Mary Jones, Lit From Behind, 48 x 36 inches, 2011, oil and spray enamel on canvas (courtesy of the artist)
Jonathan Chapline and Lorraine Nam visit the Chelsea studio of painter Mary Jones.
Jones comments that in her paintings "there’s an implied figure and its usually sort of a very ancient prehistoric Greek Cycladic reference. I wanted to reference something prehistoric and from the beginning of human history to sort of connect with that primal part of art making. I think in terms of gestural painting, it roots them in another kind of impulse-the desire to find form in something and find form in chaos and to make it in this case, pretty literal."
