Jon Key’s works feature his own likeness as a contorted black man in a variety of poses against green, black, violet and red backgrounds. The colors render the figure flamboyant and provocative while the tight framing stifles his freedom. Key uses these four colors to acknowledge his Southern roots, his Blackness, his Queerness and his family.
Jon Key (born 1990, Seale, Alabama) earned a BFA at Rhode Island School of Design (2013) before moving to Brooklyn where he began developing his studio and design practices. He has had solo and two-person exhibitions at Carl Freedman Gallery, Margate (2022); Steve Turner, Los Angeles (2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022). Key will next have a solo exhibition at Steve Turner, New York, the gallery's first exhibition in its Chelsea location.
