Chasing Shadows

Exhibited artist: Aaron Jones

Zalucky Contemporary is pleased to present the second solo exhibition by Toronto-based, emerging artist Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones creates objects and images to explore the inherent possibilities in world-building and abstraction. Employing found images, video and lens-based media, he works with different forms of collage to build characters and spaces that reflect upon his life and upbringing. Growing up surrounded by a compelling print environment that included magazines such as Ebony, Essence and O, as well as encyclopedias and books about nature and science, his curiosity was piqued about the stakes of representation. For Jones, collage functions as a way of dismantling existing representations in order to create new images that support self-affirmation. Jones’s approach is to ask how we might make our own world from what is given and how to imagine a future in which peace and prosperity can be shared by all.
