C. Jones Authenticity High (80%) 96 ## CHRIS R. C. JONES (BRITISH, B. 1986) - DATA-PAINTING, MIXED-MEDIA ASSEMBLAGE ON PANEL: IDENTIFICATION This is a significant mixed-media assemblage, consistent with the 'Data-paintings' series by the British contemporary artist Chris R. C. Jones. The work presents a dense, almost geological field of vertically arrayed paper strips, sourced from what appear to be financial statements, tickets, and other ephemera of daily life. These fragments are punctuated by embedded found objects, most notably vintage digital clock displays. The entire composition is encased in a thick, high-gloss layer of epoxy resin, creating a surface that is both artifact and vitrine. The visual effect moves between a shimmering, abstract color field from a distance and a dense, archaeological record of information upon closer inspection. Compare with other paintings in the archive: [Surrealist Painting by William Vandenjoc](https://curiosa.com/archive/paintings/a-fortunate-return), [Abstract Expressionist Landscape Painting](https://curiosa.com/archive/paintings/abstract-expressionist-painting), [Winterzon by Ansje Siel (2023)](https://curiosa.com/archive/paintings/abstract-landscape-painting-by-antje-stel). ## SCARCITY Scarce 80-90% Common Legendary Genuinely harder to find. Perhaps only dozens come to market annually. Collectors actively watch for these pieces. Rarity 6/10. Curiosa currently catalogues 16 paintings items at rarity 6 or higher. ### Typical Characteristics - Dozens per year at market - Documented provenance valued - Active collector pursuit ### AUTHENTICITY CONFIDENCE High (80% confidence) #### Confidence Factors - The artist's style is highly specific and labor-intensive, making convincing forgeries difficult and unlikely. - The primary risk would be a work by a follower or copyist rather than a direct forgery attempting to deceive. - The work appears to be of a quality consistent with the artist's known output. [How does authenticity detection work?](/fake-art-detection) ## THE ART SPECIALIST'S TAKE Museum-Trained Art Historian Connoisseur Confidence is high because the combination of materials, technique, and conceptual basis is exceptionally unique to the artist Chris R. C. Jones. It is not a generic style, making attribution based on visual evidence highly reliable. ### KEY EVIDENCE - 1 The distinctive technique of using vertically oriented shredded paper as the primary compositional element. - 2 The inclusion of embedded electronic objects, specifically digital clock displays, a known signature of the artist. - 3 The encasement of the entire assemblage in a thick, high-gloss epoxy resin. - 4 The overall aesthetic and material choice are a direct and convincing match for the 'Data-paintings' series by Chris R. C. Jones. - 5 The large scale is typical of the artist's major works shown in galleries. ### UNCERTAINTIES - • The artist's signature, likely in the bottom right corner, is not legible in the provided photographs, preventing definitive confirmation. ### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY - → Provide a high-resolution, close-up photograph of the signature in the lower right corner. - → Photograph the reverse (verso) of the panel to check for artist's inscriptions, titles, dates, or gallery labels. - → Consult the artwork's provenance documentation, such as the original bill of sale or gallery acquisition paperwork. COLLECTOR GLOSSARY (3 terms) ## CONDITION & GRADE ### Condition The artwork appears to be in excellent gallery condition from the images provided.
