Original Mixed Media Artwork by Ron Haywood Jones (2013)

This original contemporary artwork, created in 2013 by the artist Ron Haywood Jones, is a vibrant example of his signature Neo-Expressionist and Outsider Art style. The piece measures approximately 30 x 24 inches as indicated by the overlay text. The composition is executed on a support that appears to be heavy paper or cardstock, featuring a saturated, ochre-yellow monochromatic background worked with scribbled textures. The primary medium consists of broad, energetic black charcoal or oil pastel linework defining two anthropomorphic/hybrid figures. One figure exhibits a pointed, feline-like head with jagged, saw-tooth teeth and multiple protruding limbs, while the other possesses exaggerated facial features and globular sensory organs. A prominent phallic-like form rendered in bold red marks acts as a central focal point, suggesting themes of primitive energy or raw human experience. The craftsmanship is intentionally raw and gestural, following the traditions of 'Art Brut.' The artist's signature is visible in the lower right-hand corner. The condition appears to be good with no significant tearing or water damage visible, though the edges are cropped in the digital image. The energetic, haphazard linework is a stylistic choice rather than a condition issue, reflecting the aesthetic of urban contemporary folk art.
