Oliver C Jones (born 1985 in Shropshire, UK) is a contemporary British artist known for his large-scale photorealist chalk pastel drawings.
His work is most fundamentally concerned with flesh, in particular how its image exists and how it is interpreted in society.
[1] Jones graduated in 2008 from the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design with First-Class Honors.
[3] In 2010, Jones was shortlisted for the Threadneedle Prize for Painting and Sculpture for his work Georgina, which featured 'an optical illusion in which a girl's face was upside-down and the eyes and mouth were flipped up the right way.
[6] In his debut 2014 solo exhibition Love the Skin You're In, Jones 'explored society's obsession with perfect skin'[7] and the exhibition included a portrait of his young daughter with plastic surgery marks covering her face titled Designer Baby.
