Lance Jones - Untitled 2011
Lance Jones believes that the perfection of human nature demands a ceaseless reevaluation of historical fact to allow the recognition of the true beauty within an individual. To that end, the artist founds his work on images that crystallize an emotional memory for him. The chromatic, boundary-blurring and distorting filters that then serve to obfuscate the picture, recontextualizing the image as a contemporary take on a fleeting impression. These selected memories create a reality that may be strikingly disconnected from the original circumstances that created them, manifesting in a composition of globular clusters, organic shapes and pixilated images. It is within this visual representation that inherent beauty is revealed.
