About the artist:
Ella Jones’ practice harnesses the dialectical nature of Cubism to explore the tensions and contradictions between race and class in South- East London, the community in which she grew up. Presenting these histories alongside those of Cubism, Jones highlights Cubism’s own relationship with Colonialism, moving back and forth between history and the present, the centre, and the periphery, challenging the Cubist form whilst pushing it to represent more.
Jones graduated from Goldsmiths University of London with a MFA Fine Art. She exhibited at London’s Art Biennial in 2021 and has been awarded the Aiden Threlfall Award, the Fenton Art’s trust Grant and the Warden’s Prize at Goldsmiths.
