STATEMENT
Angie
Jones, also known as Stix and Jones, is an American artist whose
interdisciplinary practice encompasses painting, video, and sculpture. Through
her work, she delves into the pervasive presence of technology in contemporary
society. Bridging the digital and physical realms, Angie's art engages viewers
through multifaceted explorations. Utilizing techniques reminiscent of low
polygon video game art, Angie's pieces undergo a process of deconstruction and
reconstruction. Her work pulsates with vibrant neon colors and angular forms,
challenging spatial boundaries within canvases and sculpture. These elements
serve as conduits, seamlessly connecting physical and digital dimensions.Angie draws inspiration from both traditional and modern sources, inviting viewers to reconsider the intersections of history, technology, and science within art. Her use of augmented Reality takes this experience to a new level, offering viewers an immersive journey that transcends conventional boundaries. At the heart of Angie's practice is a profound exploration of digital culture and its impact on our perception of Reality. Her work serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the influence of media and technology on collective and individual consciousness. By straddling the past and the future, Angie challenges us to reconsider our relationship with art and imagery in an increasingly technologically saturated world.
Angie Jones resides and creates in Los Angeles, CA, and is represented by Corey Helford Gallery.
