SUMMARY:In the Galleries: Dex R. Jones: Storied Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Influenced by the cultural richness of his Caribbean heritage and Pan-African studies\, Dexter R. Jones unwaveringly removes the veil of self-conscious inhibition by eliminating preconceived notions of beauty. Instead\, he masterfully reveals true splendor and regality\, even amidst vulnerability. Jones relentlessly pushes the characterization of beauty not often seen. Encompassing a mixture of texture\, hues\, flesh and heavy contrast in his editorial photography\, his expertise in justly capturing women of vast shades is indicative of his strong matriarchal upbringing.  \nBorn in Brooklyn\, New York\, Jones works on artistic projects\, editorial assignments\, and creative collaborations in both photography and film. Storied Portraits is Jones’ first solo show outside of New York and features 20 images produced in large-scale\, further enhancing the vibrancy\, strength and appeal of his artwork. \nEXHIBITION PROGRAMMING \nThoughtful Thursday – Exhibition Preview with Barbara Cooper\, March 12\, 7 – 8 PM\nCLOSING PARTY – DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
