Janet Jones is a Canadian artist, art historian and associate professor at York University in Toronto, Canada. She is known for her hard-edge abstract painting which draws from technological culture, film history and urban space.[1] Jones merges imagery inspired by sterile public spaces like the lobbies of multinational corporations or hyper-lit passages on the Las Vegas casino strip.
Her 2010 solo exhibition, DaDa Delirium at the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ontario, showed large abstract paintings made between 2003-2010. It was enthusiastically reviewed by Yvonne Lammerich in Canadian Art.[2]
Her Ph.D thesis was "Clement Greenberg and the Artist/Critic Relationship", which focused on Greenbergian modernist criticism in relation to painting and the internal structure of the 'Greenberg Group'.[1]
In 2002 she received the Faculty of Fine Arts Dean's Teaching Award for outstanding teaching and contribution to the life and vibrancy of the Faculty of Fine Arts.
