Rachel Jones is a British artist who works primarily in painting, installation, sound, and performance. Jones explores a sense of self as a visual, visceral experience.The figures in her work are notably abstracted and Jones uses bold color, competing forms, and an interplay of textures to communicate her ideas to viewers, who bring their own experiences and cultural backgrounds to the interpretation of her works. This sense of community and shared history comes to the fore in her installations and performances, in which imagery, sound, and music coalesce in a celebration of Black culture. Jones’s work has been exhibited at institutions such as the Long Museum Shanghai and Chisenhale Gallery, London. She lives and works in London.
