NIK JONES

my name is NIk Jones
I have worked and lived in London my whole life.
My current practised is based around idea of the individual self
within society and their special relationship to "the other". I feel
in London especially, being surrounded by so many people can leave you
felling irritated and lost. I believe that how we understand and
perceive those around us, helps us to fill and create an existence of
our own.
Through painting i hope to encourage the viewer to consider there own
position within our media image dominated world. Drawing on the use of
celebrity culture to outline ways in which we percieve those around
us. Raising questions such as do we ever really know someone? and how
we can relate this to the inexplicable nature of our own lives.
