ABOUT BOSCH JONES
Bosch Jones is a multiform artist whose work spans several disciplines, various media, & a variegated spectrum of cultural registers. Bosch began as Paul James Heiner, born on April 21st, 1968 in Plattsburgh, NY, & holds a BA in Literature and Studio Art from Oberlin College, & an MFA in Poetry from Columbia University, where he joined the King’s Crowne Shakespeare Troupe, CU, playing Claudius, Tom Snout, Patroclus, Antonio, & King Lear. The Bosch Jones askesis is employed across disciplines & creative pursuits, combining literature, academia, acting & creating theatre & film/video. In visual art, the foundation is drawing; Bosch engages with traditional techniques & materials along with more experimental ones. The style is protean, largely abstract, comprising figuration & in places an element of realism &/or narrative that invites a readability. The practice relies on words & pictures, people & performance, text, sartoria, improvisation, found ephemera, poisons, animism, plush toys, music, muscle & movement to create installations, spatial experiences, diorama, interactive happenings, lyrical passages, artbooks, as well as more traditional drawings, paintings & collages. The magic inherent to a space or place wherein art is the prevailing imperative is of particular importance & interest, often involving collaboration with pieces continually evolving & potentially ever-changing. & like courtiers of olde, Bosch & Cohorts do with numbers daily, making & scrivening toward the conjuring of Artwork & Poems, some of which have appeared in the Paris Review, La Presa, SoFloPoJo & elsewhere. Visual Works & Artbooks reside in various private collections. Theatrical exploits occur in various venues along the Florida Coast.
