Rachel Jones (born 1991, Whitechapel, East London) is a British visual artist whose bold, emotionally charged paintings explore abstraction, identity and the politics of representation. She studied Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art (BA) and later at the Royal Academy Schools (MA).
Her work is noted for its vibrant use of colour, expressive gestures, and recurring motifs of the human mouth — a symbol she uses to probe ideas of voice, expression, intimacy and vulnerability. Through dynamic layering of oil stick, pastel, paint and marks, her canvases oscillate between abstraction and figuration, inviting a visceral, rather than purely interpretive, response.
Rachel Jones has exhibited widely across the UK and internationally, and her works are held in major collections such as the Tate, Arts Council England, Hepworth Wakefield, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. She was the artist-in-residence at the Chinati Foundation and at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.
