Rachel Jones: A Shorn Root - Oona Doyle - Bog

Stimulating and sensory abstract paintings showcase Jones's ongoing interest in the mouth as a central motif in her workRachel Jones (born 1991) is a London-based artist whose vivid palette and hatched-like lines created with oil pastels and oil sticks bring colors to their full intensity. Her approach to abstraction is centered around an investigation of readings of the Black body throughout history. Jones uses the abstracted forms of mouths or teeth as an indication of the body or of personhood.
