About the artist:

Erik Jones was born in 1982 in a sunny beach community in St. Petersburg, Florida. His work is vibrant and colorful, expressing a heightened sense of realism, captured in his female subjects, juxtaposed with sporadic markmaking and nonrepresentational forms that could be said to mimic geometric high-end fashion. This effect is achieved by using multiple mediums such as watercolor, colored pencil, acrylic, water-soluble wax pastel, and water-soluble oil on paper. Jones received a bachelor’s degree from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2007, and moved to Brooklyn in 2009.
