Joseph Jones produces meticulously detailed flower and cat paintings which move between photorealistic and more overtly painted outputs. 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. Jones work invites us to break away frantic image consumption and instead ask us for a slower reading, challenging conventional perceptions, and prompting internal reflection.
