Chelonis is not a painter in the traditional sense - he is a poet with a rebellious brush. Chelonis R. Jones , born and raised in California and New York.
The pictorial representation of life in all its facets, with a very critical view of all social classes... not from a position of comfort , but with all the human and inhuman peculiarities that make up society.... that is the trademark of a Chelonis R. Jones....
It's not about highlighting scandal - it's about honesty - and from that comes what we so often find scandalous.
Artworks from USA: Chelonis' works polarise. They are beautiful, controversial and critical. It is worthwhile to linger in order to be able to grasp the spectrum of thoughts.
