Erik Jones is a contemporary figure painter from New York City. He works in a number of different scales but most of his work includes a mostly realistic figure, that is then covered partially in bright colors and bold shapes. I was mostly attracted to his depictions of these figures and his use of colors. His work involves a process that is quite remarkable. He often starts with a photoshoot, then edits images together to create the "perfect reference photo". Afterwards he creates shapes on top of the reference image and enlarges it to project. From the projection, he traces the images and then goes back using Prisma pencils, water-soluble oils, acrylics, and water-soluble pastels to create the final paintings.
