Ross Jones' highly finished and detailed drawings are cuttingly political. For all the complex and sensitive issues with which they deal, Jones' recent works are characterised by calm, considered reflection. In each of his works he seeks to distil a political issue into just one of its visual constituent parts. This requires great consideration as the result stands as a signifier, an iconic symbol, for each individual problem in its entirety. Jones can be seen as a socio-political critique, or as simply trying, and arguably succeeding, to make some sense of contemporary socio-political situations for himself and for the viewer. Less a damning or revolutionary critique, than a perspective that occasionally highlights subtle ironies.
