DESCRIPTION:Erik Jones\n“Motion” - a debut solo show\nJuly 5th - July 
 26th\n\nHashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Motion, the debut solo 
 exhibition by gallery artist Erik Jones. \n\nJones’ work investigates 
 form, both abstract and figurative, through a unique combination of 
 hyperrealism and geometric expressionism. Rendering his subjects carefully 
 in a photorealistic manner, each figure is then enveloped within a colorful 
 swell of shapes, color and form. \n\nSuch surreal interventions are 
 accomplished through the artist’s methodical process of mark-making. 
 Utilizing a wide range of materials, Jones’ mixed media approach creates 
 a hypnotic tension between the familiar and the fantastical. Using 
 watercolor and colored pencil as the soft foundation upon which Jones’ 
 figures manifest, oil paint and wax pastels are then layered upon the main 
 subject in a more intuitive manner. These saturated patterns move around 
 the figure, further highlighting various gestures or the occasional curious 
 glance peering out from behind the colorful structures. \n\nFor his debut 
 solo show, the subject of Jones’ paintings take on three separate forms, 
 all unique yet interconnected into a greater whole. The most recognizable 
 of the paintings depict the nude human form, an ongoing motif in the 
 artist’s greater body of work. Simultaneously, some of the paintings 
 focus on what lies further beneath the skin, exploring memento mori and the 
 symbology of death. Lastly, the third grouping of paintings in the 
 exhibition stand void of any figure at all, giving in whole-heartedly to 
 the mobility and flux of the more abstract qualities of Jones’ work. 
 These three subjects take the helm of Motion, referencing a cyclical 
 narrative of life, death and the unknown.  \n\n
