BEN JONES
Ben Jones, born in New Jersey in 1941, is an artist whose focus has always been on spirituality, culture, and politics. He earned his BFA from William Paterson University (Wayne, NJ), MFA from Pratt University (Brooklyn, NY), and MA from New York University (New York, NY). Jones has made over fifty cultural exchange visits to Cuba since the 1970s, earning recognition from Granma International of Havana, Cuba, as one of the most important African American artists of his generation. For over four decades, Jones’ multimedia installations have reflected his travels and research across Africa, Europe, South America, the United States, and the Caribbean. His works are characterized by brilliant rhythmic colors, abstract motifs, dense symmetrically designed compositions, and symbols that blend classical African art and culture with the African Diaspora experience Jones' artistic journey began with a political consciousness, expressing the social conditions of his time through art as a form of activism His pieces from the 1970s onward reflect his exploration of African
American heritage, encompassing African spiritualism, ritual, body painting traditions, as well as jazz and soul music. While rooted in the Black Power and Black Arts movements, Jones' work has evolved to address broader concerns such as environmental sustainability and the interconnectedness of all life forms. His political and cultural involvement takes a global perspective, aiming for inclusivity and unity. Jones once stated, “I want my work to be for everyone. Once we realize that we are not only one world, but a part of an expanding universe, we begin to express the joy of creation and a love for all people.” Jones’ works of art are housed in prestigious permanent collections across institutions, such as the Studio Museum in Harlem, Schomburg Center, New Jersey State Museum, Montclair Art Museum, Newark Art Museum, Driskell Center, Paterson Museum, Zimmerli Museum, and Jersey City Museum. Ben has been a generous contributor to ETV’s FTLOA for many years and was celebrated as its inaugural Village Arts Ambassador in 2024
