Allen Jones

Allen Jones (born 1937 in Southampton, England) lives and works in London. A leading figure of British Pop Art, he is best known for his depictions of fashion, female sexuality and the imagery of mass media. Drawing on advertising, comics and popular culture, Jones combines stylized female figures with vivid colours, bold contours and a distinctly graphic visual language. His work often explores the boundaries between art, fashion and consumer culture, with the female figure becoming a central subject through which he examines glamour, desire and representation.
