Jones art exhibit to run at NSU Sept. 3-10

NATCHITOCHES  – An art exhibit by Northwestern State University graduate student Jeremy Jones, “The Amalgamation:  A Landscape Perceived,” will be on display Sept. 3-10 in the Orville J. Hanchey Gallery. Admission is free and open to the public.

The Hanchey Gallery is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. until noon on Friday. An opening reception will be held Sept. 3 from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.

According to Jones, his exhibition will be an installation “that transforms the Hanchey Gallery into a imaginative landscape, and will convey the influences of hot rod flames, tattoos, graffiti, stylized weapons, fine art, modern and postmodern ideas and landscape painting, all converging to make my personal brand of expressionism.”

Jones, a Louisiana native, said his art “consists mostly of landscapes that are sentimental to me or similar to the types of scenes I experienced growing up in Northwest Louisiana.  The subject matter is usually selected and manipulated to make allusions to the human condition, humans coexistence with their natural environment, and to express my own personal experiences, feelings and ideas.”
