Samuel Levi Jones The Empire is Falling at The Contemporary Dayton

November 5, 2021 — January 16, 2022

The Contemporary Dayton, Dayton, OH


Samuel Levi Jones’ paintings are comprised of the rended covers of books whose purpose is to influence, educate, and inform. In his effort to investigate omissions and falsehoods deeply embedded within these volumes, Jones sews the book covers back together to create uncannily beautiful abstract paintings, often at a large scale.
