Ben Jones: Slate Landscapes 2014-2019

Ben Jones's sculptures evoke mountain ranges using carved and assembled rocks to create layered valleys and summits.  The use of slate with its almost mystical riven grain has permitted the sculptor to envisage three dimensional vistas, overlaying and buttressing.  The tightly compressed spaced contained within each piece offers a depth of perspective to his sculpture unexperienced before.  Cut and broken slate with stratification detailing suggests a scale change and perspective new to stone carving.

This selection of landscapes introduces a rewarding view of his most recent sculpture and the innovation he brings to this accomplished British art form.
