PlaneImage features the work of Paige Williams and Jeffrey Cortland Jones, two Ohio-based abstract painters. Both working on panel, each addresses the hard slick surface with a unique touch and concern for color and imagery.


Paige Williams, "Without Even Thinking," 2006. Latex on panel, 23 inches square.

Paige Williams, currently teaches painting and drawing at the Art Academy of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio. She exhibits locally, nationally and internationally including exhibitions in Germany, the Ukraine, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York and has been selected as an Artist in Residence at the Millay Colony for the Arts in New York, The University of Alaska in Anchorage, The Neu Rathaus Gallery in Munich, Germany and The Vermont Studio Center.

Williams' work explores the space between us: the physical and psychological disparities that exist in relationships along with the joys and tensions that arise as a result of navigating these intervals. The works are about discovery, the struggle to relinquish control and reveling in the absurd and unexpected.


Jeffrey Cortland Jones, "Disco," 2007. Enamel, resin, and other mixed media on MDF, 17 x 7 inches.

Jeffrey Cortland Jones teaches at the University of Dayton, Ohio. Recent exhibitions include the Weston Center for the Arts in Cincinnati, The University of Cincinnati, Western Kentucky University, and Providence College in Rhode Island.

Jones' recent paintings are the records of densely layered actions. His preference for the materials of heavy industry such as resin and MDF panels neverthess give way to his sense of luxurious color and sense of light. His use of clear coats allows allows the viewer to literally sift through transparent layers of experience, imbuing the paintings with a sense of real time.
