Addison Jones

"Salvation", Gold Street Art, Modern Portrait Art, 2020

2020

Addison Jones is a world-class photographer and mixed-media artist based in the Midwest.

Jones uses her street art and mixed-media style to portray models from her own modern portrait photography. The result culminates in moody, sensual, and contemplative mixed-media art focusing on the humanity of the subject. Each of her pieces are original works.

Addison is known for layering her own photographs into complex street art and using the written word as a subtle texture feature. She utilizes silver and gold leaf, acrylics, and custom paints, including color changing, to add layers upon layers as she goes. In the end, it culminates in a piece that is viewed as a complex whole.

Jones begins each piece with a photograph from her own portfolio, and then free flows through each element, drawing inspiration as she works. She often says that her style often leads to mistakes that later become some of the best parts of the piece.

"Most of the time I am like 'welp, don’t like the way that looks' and don’t care if I mess up, so then I do something and I like it and then I’m like 'I love this piece' as each piece shifts and changes throughout the process," Jones says.Find authentic Addison Jones paintings, photography and other art on 1stDibs.
