Switch (Backside Smith), 2016
Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to present Closer, Still, Jeffrey Cortland Jones’ second solo exhibition with the gallery. The subtlety of Jeffrey Cortland Jones’ work belies its visual impact; impact which discloses itself to those viewers who opt to examine the work most fully. At first glance, his constructed shapes are white, orderly stacks, but closer inspection reveals the tensions between them. His angles are not quite 90 degrees, his whites are often not truly white at all, and the slivers of color and texture underlying them call the depicted spatial depth into question.
