Darvin Jones inhabits two worlds. Art. Music. Intermingled, intertwined, impossible to create one without the other for Darvin Jones. Nomenclature, his new work on exhibit at Austin Details Art + Photo from May 12-July 1, brings his two worlds together to give definition and meaning to the intersections of art and music.

To merge two such very opposite worlds, Jones relies upon the line, long used by artists and musicians for the symbols of their worlds: imagery, composition, notation and language. How we interpret these symbols helps us find meaning and understanding in the world at large.

For Darvin Jones, combining imagery with line has become a new way to make his paintings reflect the nature of his music—to connect his two worlds.
