It looks like the bodies and hands are the marble sculpture by Canova

ABOUT
GARY JOHN JONES
A contemporary and controversial voice to cut through the noise, Gary John Jones’ images amalgamate the media obsessed, over saturated, saccharine facade of popular culture with a murkier social commentary. Breaking down barriers, and finding commonalities between different periods, countries or people results in a paradoxical, often anachronistic, window through which to examine our own sense of responsibility, and even culpability, in a rapidly shifting modern landscape.

Never one to shy away from the difficult questions, the self-proclaimed Photoshop genius uses a meticulous eye for detail to present touchstone pieces that consider the implications of a generation who view kitten videos and counter-terrorism in the same news feed.

Liverpool born-and-bred, Jones’ signature style typifies both the strength and humour of his home city by gently jibing the quixotic nature of classical art and the modern media creating, what Erin Kirkpatrick of Trendhunters called, “inventive and clever masterpieces”.

Is that a roundabout way of saying, he photo shops well known classical paintings and well known modern images together ?

'self-proclaimed Photoshop genius'

Well that's good enough for me.

"Conventional offset printing uses solvent inks – which are not the greenest option – because they evaporate into the air, releasing VOC's. They often require additional spray powders to aid in drying. Because they are absorbed into the paper, colors can become diluted and less bright. Depending on the papers character and weight, drying can add days to each job. Conventional inks must be absorbed by the substrate they are printed on therefore, you can not use them on materials like plastic, foil, or acrylics.

UV inks dry through a photomechanical process. The inks are exposed to ultra-violet lights as they are printed, immediately turning from a liquid to a solid with very little evaporation of solvents and almost no absorption of the ink into the paper stock. So you can print on virtually whatever you want when using UV inks!"

HUV or LED UV Litho printing is popping up more and more these days, it is sold as being more environmentally friendly, this is bullshit as it causing a lot of problems for the paper recycling companies because they have real problems “deinking” the paper...

Some Printing companies like this because they can handle and  “finish” the printed sheets quicker and it saves them a bit of money in electricty costs, it’s cerainly not better quality than Vegetable based inks.

I hate the look and feel of HUV and LEDUV print, especially on Uncoated papers. It makes the paper feel like plastic, like its been done on a cheap Digital press! 

I much prefer the look and feel of Vegetable based inks and Vegetable based inks are much more environmentally friendly than any UV ink!

so don’t believe the hype.

Not sure what this HD UV refers to but probably is a flatbed printer.

That's a terrible pun.

But you still do merit applause, for both your art history knowledge and your observation skills.

Here you go...

If this is the type of art free speech encourages, we need to revisit that idea.

Dudes, he's breaking down barriers and asking the difficult questions about over saturated pop culture! These are truly inventive and clever masterpieces, the likes of which no one has seen before! Erin said so!

move over Bambi, Gary John Jones is coming thru on the outside lane!

I’m not a fan ☹️
That said I don’t like much new stuff.

Yeah,  I agree with you these are wired to me too, but may others like?!

I am just new here, so I don't know what you guys Likes & Dislikes. And I will try to post some to meet your flavour...

@dive Jedi suggested me to change it for some transparent reasons.

Happy Friday!
