Painter Chet Jones has lived and worked in Provincetown, Massachusetts since 1993. He received a B.A. from Boston College, Chesnut Hill, MA and completed Graduate Studies in Fine Arts, Rosary College, Florence Italy. Jones is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, NY, NY 1996. He was awarded a full fellowship residency at the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, Vermont, 1996 and a full residency scholarship to the Skowhegan School of painting, Skowhegan, Maine 1981. “Chet Jone's moody and evocative oil paintings convey a pared-down and primordial house from within an existential landscape. There is a freshness to the colors and brushwork that fills his painted forms with a vibrant and sometimes haunting presence. His ability to focus on shape allows him to magnify and amplify common architecture and transform it into a new, yet familiar landscape.”
