It's Alright Now

In his show-stopping collection, Silver Screen, figurative artist Jon Jones pays tribute to some of the most memorable moments in film from the last 70 years.

A homage to the enduring joy of cinema, this collection will undoubtedly be an instant classic with a series of iconic images depicting the most famous scenes in cinema history.

A celebration of storytelling, nostalgia and the universal power of movies to move us, ‘It's Alright Now’ depicts a scene from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. A tribute to Clint Eastwood, the artwork captures the essence of a classic Western hero in an iconic scene of the lone rider against the vast.

The striking use of light and shadow accentuates Eastwood’s chiselled features, embodying his legendary stoicism and rugged persona while drawing focus to the intensity of his gaze and the determination in his posture. The interplay of light and dark not only highlights the physicality of the scene, but also symbolises the moral complexities and internal struggles of the Western hero, evoking a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the genre.

Jones masterfully makes the artwork feel like a still from a lost masterpiece of classic cinema with the interplay of vivid highlights and deep shadows.

Painted in black and white, the narrative and the characters take centre stage with the stark contrast of light and shadow, a nod to the film noir style, emphasizing the raw emotions and expressions of the actors.

The artwork serves as a bridge between the silver screen and our own memories, transforming a simple scene into a deeply personal experience, inviting us to reminisce about the first time we encountered these iconic movie scenes.
