November 23 - January 18, 2020
“An exhibition of recent work by Dallas painter Otis Jones will be on display November 23, 2019, through January 18, 2020, at William Campbell Contemporary Art. An opening reception will be held Saturday, November 23, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The show will feature a selection of Jones’s tactile, depth-driven, nonrepresentational paintings that reveal and revel in the artist’s process and his relationship with the materials.
“I’m making things that speak to me and that reflect on my aesthetic and my soul,” remarks Jones, who juxtaposes the formal with the organic and the personal with the universal to create quiet, contemplative microenvironments. To achieve this, he reduces subject matter to its formal elements, highlighting the vastness of simplicity. At the same time, he situates the lines and shapes within lush, painterly planes that imply a depth of conscience. He refers to these austere yet provocative combinations as “essentialist.””
