BENJAMIN JONES

Benjamin Jones creates haunting images that reveal a distinct visual language. He combines an appreciation of outsider art with a sophisticated technical skill to create his own psychologically compelling style. Through extensive and continuous research, Jones incorporates his awareness of culture and current events into his work, creating drawings that are simultaneously seductive and disconcerting.

Jones received his BFA from the State University of West Georgia. He displays his work in Georgia, London, and Boise. His drawings are included in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Indianapolis Museum of Art; High Museum, Atlanta, Georgia; Morris Museum, Louisville, Kentucky; Ogden Museum of Southern Art; Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia; and numerous corporate and private collections.
