Zebedee Jones, born 12 March 1970 in London, is a British abstract painter living in London. He studied at Camberwell College of Arts, Norwich University of the Arts and Chelsea School of Art and Design, graduating in 1993. In 1994 his paintings appeared in Unbound: possibilities in painting at the Hayward Gallery. Jones creates monochrome abstract works that are sometimes described as Neo-conceptual or part of the Process Art tradition, and he is seen as part of a generation moving away from conceptual, installation and video art back toward painting. His canvases are stretched over deep frames, and the paint is applied in scraped, layered strokes, usually horizontal, giving a rough, varied surface. Jones's work is held in public collections including Tate, the National Galleries of Scotland, and the Arts Council of Great Britain Collection.
