Kathy Jones "Passages"

Patricia Rovzar Gallery is pleased to present Kathy Jones “Passages,” a collection of new work in oil on canvas & cold wax on panel. Influenced by the Bay Area Figurative painters, Jones creates a dialogue between her use of color, her application of paint, and her subjects. The figures in her paintings have a quiet and hypnotic presence, while the palette and texture of her works pulsate and buzz with energy. Jones’ mostly female figures are often depicted in transition or moving from one place to another. Driven by experimenting with the push and pull of rich colors across the canvas, creating mood and mysterious narratives, Jones positions her work at the interstice, the silence, solitude, space, and shadow between two moments.

Kathy Jones was educated at Stanford University, where she studied drawing and printmaking. After graduation, she spent time in Cairo, Egypt teaching art and science. This experience has been an ongoing influence in Jones’ work.

“Passages” runs from Thursday, January 2nd through Friday, January 31st at Patricia Rovzar Gallery in Seattle, WA. Gallery hours are Monday through Sunday, 11 AM - 5 PM. A reception for Kathy Jones will be held Thursday, January 2nd from 6 - 8 PM. The gallery will host an Artist Talk on Saturday, January 4 at 12:00 PM.
