Exhibition Reece Jones: Control Test

All Visual Arts are proud to present their first solo show by British artist Reece Jones. Staged across the 5000 square foot warehouse in Kings Cross, Control Test represents the culmination of a series of works developed over the past two years.

Jones creates charcoal drawings on an unusually large scale. Essentially process based, they are developed using a system of application and erasure. Building up multiple layers only to systematically erode them using glass papers. Responding to the new-found nuances of surface, tonality and description created by this aggressive intervention, he then re-builds the images only to repeat the process until ‘resolution’.

Reference points are many and varied and explore the highly charged territory that exists between cinema, landscape and interventional art. References to film (Stanley Kubrick), photography (Hiroshi Sugimoto), Land Art (James Turrell)
