Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Abiogenesis, a solo exhibition by Florida-based artist Erik Jones.
Returning for his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, Jones' new work reflects on the theory of original evolution from inorganic non-living matter into what we are today. Jones uses this concept while creating loose pours of paint, sometimes mixing up to 80 different colors, waiting for them to harden and then collaging them into his work. The evolution of these pieces start with a realistic, ambiguous figure and are transformed by adding the cured drip patterns to form an abstracted body shape, creating a subtle expressiveness and life within the paintings.
