“Chet Jones’ moody and evocative oil paintings convey a pared-down and primordial house from within an existential landscape. There is a freshness to the colors and brushwork that fills his painted forms with a vibrant and sometimes haunting presence. His ability to focus on shape allows him to magnify and amplify common architecture and transform it into a new, yet familiar landscape.”
