Artist Statement for Dennis Jones
|
|
|
Language is essential; my ideas originate in an intimate dialogue that I have with my work as I’m working. I find that I’m pulled to relationships of the incidental, awkward, and contingent; I'm fascinated with incompleteness and effortlessness as these traits unmask an object and encourage dialogue. The materials that I choose to work with have modesty and economy; a straightforward, unembellished quality. This “stuff” that I cobble together comes from years of accumulation that occupies considerable presence in my garage and studio - I just might be a hoarder, or I could easily open a small scrap yard – all these discarded materials possess potential for me. I recycle these remnants and put them together to form things that are peculiar and new.
I believe that Painting is about desire, which exists in an inherent magnetism between an image and object. Painting is a synthesis of the imagination and reality, the unknowable and the known, and in the mind of the viewer, these separate trajectories intersect thereby closing a gap, and thought congeals. Painting is a language all its own, a dynamic interrelationship of content and form provide a basis for its syntax and comprehension. The language of painting is internal, embedded in the place of ideas, yet at the same time, it is about the obvious concrete materiality of the object directly in front of us. Paintings operate in the interchangeable region between thinking (idea) and image (object). This duality (idea/object) is something that has always fascinated me.
