Barrie Jones, RCA[1] (born October 23, 1950)[2] is a Canadian photographer and art educator based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He taught in the department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia.[3]
Background
[edit]Jones was born in Ottawa, Ontario, and currently lives and works in Vancouver. His practice involves analogue and digital photography and video, focusing on portraits and urban environments as sites of complex identities. He received his BFA from the University of British Columbia, where he studied with Canadian photographer Fred Herzog, and was peer to Vancouver School artists Marian Penner Bancroft, Ian Wallace, Jeff Wall, and Rodney Graham.[4]
He received his MFA from York University, and began teaching at the university. he returned to Vancouver, where he instructed in photography at the University of British Columbia until 2021. Jones has an extensive exhibition record and his work is in the collections of a number of major Canadian galleries[5], including the Vancouver Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Richmond Art Gallery.[6]
Artistic Practice
[edit]Jones’s practice concerns itself with the portrait and its complexities. His works explore the pliability and deceptiveness of human identity – sometimes with humour that is subtextual and subtly subversive – while commenting upon the fragility, tenacity, and inventiveness of the human species[7].
