Looking at magazines and television we see people with perfect skin, hair and teeth. In this time of age we don’t shy away from Photoshop, color correcting and brushing away imperfections to create the illusion of perfection. The truth is, nobody is perfect. We are all perfect in our own unique ways. We spend way too much money trying to buy our way into perfection. Creams, facial masks, scrubs you name, if it promises to make you look 10-years younger we will buy it. Artist Oliver C Jones wants to show us that these ads are not realistic. By creating utterly realistic paintings he want to re-advertise the real skin we live in, love the skin you’re in! 

Oliver shows the real human flesh with his paintings. They show our routines and how we desperately try to get young, beautiful looking skin. Take a look at real skin not the air-brushes, well shot pictures of models flaunting there baby smooth skin. We may look at many people everyday however a painting can be way more confronting and give us a reality check. His paintings are made with pastel colored chalk and showcases cultural beauty ideals.
