Laurence Jones

Sublime paintings of Los Angeles, California's iconic skyline and architecture from British artist Laurence Jones.

Exploring the relationship between architecture, light, and the mediated image, Jones blends fiction and reality to transform Los Angeles's iconic modern homes into cinematic scenes that examine how meaning is projected onto built environments. Using layered acrylic techniques, Jones reworks photographs and mass-media imagery into compositions that feel both hyper-real and subtly uncanny. Recurring motifs such as pools, glass facades, and horizon lines create a suspended atmosphere between intimacy and spectacle, engaging with the legacy of Pop Art while pushing the subject forward into contemporary definitions.
