CHET JONES
According
to painter Chet Jones, “light is a living presence that
supports everything,” and the artist bases his work on
the simple act of looking at light. His conceptualized landscapes
most often feature the façade of a singular house perched
on a bare horizon. The geometric structure of the house acts
as a point of departure as Jones then embarks on an intuitive
exploration of color and light. Through the process of creating
these minimal, concise, and iconic pieces, the artist achieves
a visceral connection to the work that reaches beyond the level
of conscious thinking.
A
Provincetown-based artist, Jones has been painting professionally since
1981. He majored in art at Boston College, and attended art school in
Florence, Italy. In addition to his many local exhibitions, Jones’ work
has been shown in New York at the National Academy Museum. His work is
included in both public and private collections throughout the United
States and Europe.
