Erik Jones: Muse

Erik Jones was born in 1982 in St. Petersburg, FL and currently lives and works there. In 2007 he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Ringling College of Art and Design. He is best known for works featuring semi-abstracted subjects where the fantastical and familiar merge. Working with a colorful palette, Jones’  figures exist in a space between realism and abstraction. The artist vividly paints flesh while posing his figures in exaggerated poses. Jones works in a variety of mediums including watercolour, coloured pencil and oil.
