Request Artwork - Who Said Anything About Being A Cockney
Birmingham born and bred, artist Jon Jones has kept true to his hometown and artistic genre throughout his career. He explores the dark history of Birmingham through macabre colour palettes and atmospheric figurative works such as the one above.
Deep swathes of black paint are skilfully blended and contrasted with white accents to create detailed and moving masterpieces. Bespoke framed and mounted in textured black radiata pine, this original painting will add a dark and sultry touch to any space while honouring a key aspect of British history.
You can view Jon Jones' full portfolio of art here or learn more about the artist's incredible Hill Street mural for Birmingham Children's Hospital.
