Evan Jones is a painter based in Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting from SCAD Atlanta and has exhibited throughout the United States. Having been born and raised in Cashiers, NC, he has an affection for Appalachia and it's charming ways. This is an artist who can enjoy the excesses of homemade advertisements, primitive folk art painting styles and alternative history while offering his version of countrified Americana. Jones’ paintings are phantasmagoric fever dreams of alternative history that hilariously collide military and sports heroics and the romance of masculine adventuring in a tipped hat to European history painting. Jones then blends that painting tradition with the lowbrow American iconography of Nascar heroes Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, tattoo art, Black Cat firecrackers, and cheap Olympia beer.
