Contemporary abstract drawing, mark making, printmaking, lettering, words and graphic art.
At Four Letter Studio, Carl Jones creates abstract art using experimental printmaking, letterpress, linocut, fineliner pens, sharpies and marker pens. Each piece is a one-off original – not a print. Inspired by books, libraries, architecture, music, words and the rhythmic beat of sound, his intricate compositions reflect a unique fusion of structure and flowing creativity. Lettering pieces include swear words, song lyrics and inspirational sayings.
Carl's inspiration? 'What do I see? I see books, libraries. Buildings, architecture. I see people. Music, vinyl records. I hear the repetitive beat of a drum, the sound of a synthesiser. And I see words. This all inspires my art and what I print, draw and create. And I'm a great believer that non-aggressive swearing is good for mental wellbeing!'
