JACK HIRONS
Bio
Jack’s main practice focuses on the relationship between depiction and material, often reflecting on a single subject for contemplation on wider issues. His interest lies in the history and meanings attached to matter and how this can be used to create depictions and, ultimately, dialogues beyond the subject matter. This leads him to acts such as making his own oil paint from chicken bones.
Born in North Devon, England (1992). Jack gained a BA in Photographic Arts from the University of Westminster. Selected exhibitions include: Round the back of KFC, by the bins, Crate Project Space, Margate (2022); Political, Spiritual, Disaster. Ain’t nobody here but us chickens, Studio Kind, Braunton (2022); Of Earth For Earth, Heartlands World Heritage Mining, Cornwall (2020); Material Light, Kochi Biennale, India (2017).
