Joseph Jones produces deatiled paintings of cats and flowers that explore sensitive notions of care, compassion and nurture. Often working from a composite image; an image that has been constructed by splicing a number of references together, these works recall 17th century flemish paintings whist simultaneously being grounded in a vernacular that is synonymous with early forms of pop, and the birth of digital image making. The singularity of his paintings invite us to break away from frantic image consumption and instead ask us for a slower reading, challenging conventional perceptions, and prompting internal reflection.
