Back in 2014 illustrator / designer / art director Rob Jones took to Chicago’s Galerie F and filled it with over 100 self-portraits for his show ‘Grief: A Solo Exhibition by Rob Jones.’
‘Grief‘ could end up as not only one of the best events of 2014, but as of one of the best shows of an artist’s work in recent history. It tells the involved narrative of a man accepting his faults and embarrassments, putting them on display in simple matter of fact fashion.
Rob Jones was kind enough to go in depth about his process creating the show and the hiccups along the way. The full interview is published on Print Magazine and can be read HERE.
