Theodora Varnay Jones
Budapest
(1942)
Hungarian-born American artist who currently resides and works in San Francisco, California.
Theodora Varnay Jones was born on February 26, 1942. She studied art and earned her MFA from the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest. Her work reflects the influence of conceptual and minimalist art, as well as her background in mathematics and geometry. Her experiments with various disciplines, media, and techniques in printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and installations echo her reverence for process and material while evoking an open-ended range of concepts from perception to relativity, transparency, and time.
Jones has exhibited her art in various countries, including the United States, Japan, Hungary, Spain, Germany, Sweden, and Korea. Her pieces can be found in public collections in the U.S., Hungary, Costa Rica, and Japan. Born in Budapest, Hungary, she now creates visual art in both 2D and 3D mediums, focusing on reductive, abstract styles that explore depth, accumulation, and the shifting nature of perception.
