Ben F. Jones
Ben F. Jones is an African-American artist primarily identified with the Black Arts Movement of the 1970s. His work transcends cultural and racial boundaries, particularly due to his extensive visits to Cuba as well as London, Germany, South Africa, Spain, Brazil, Italy and numerous other global locations. His frequent travels have given him a broad perspective as a global citizen invested in social justice issues. He is interested in elevating consciousness of the inter-relatedness of all things; technology, nature and spirituality. His work weaves these themes together with his experience as an activist for social justice, freedom and equality for African Americans which are recurring themes in his work, as well as the basis for his work in his community as a socially engaged artist.
