Leon Jones’ solo exhibition, “Camouflaged: Hidden in Plain Sight” will have it’s closing reception on December 27th, from 12 to 4 pm. Join us in celebrating Jones’ time at Studios Inc, and experience his solo exhibition one final time.

Jones’ work considers the errors in human nature and questions practicality and function of objects with a refreshed visual discernment, all while challenging ideas of conformity. His work recognizes the importance of marginalized cultures and their inclusion in the narrative of American history.

“In Camouflaged: Hidden in Plain Sight, Leon Jones examines the architecture of deception at the root of the American story. From its founding myths to its present narratives, the nation has relied on disguise — the art of appearing righteous while concealing the systems that sustain inequality. “Camouflage”, in this sense, becomes both metaphor and method: a survival instinct that has evolved into a cultural reflex.” — excerpt from abstract by Leon Jones
