Je Ne Me Soucie Pas De (3), (5) and (7) are variable editions of paintings by Alex Jones that extend his ongoing investigation into the relationship between language and form. Jones’s practice explores how words can operate beyond communication, using text as a visual and structural device within painting rather than as a direct carrier of meaning.

In this series, Jones turns away from English and works with a foreign language, creating a distance between the artist and the phrase itself. That distance allows the words to be seen as a structure: something visual, spatial, and built.

The title, translated as “I Do Not Care About,” is taken from earlier works in which the phrase was arranged through a triangular motif, its shape determined by the numerical structure of the letters. Here, that logic develops into a new form, with the composition resolved into a striking cross-shaped work. In Jones’s hands, language is not simply read but experienced as material that can be measured and arranged

These works sit between neutrality and abstraction, where meaning is partially withheld and form takes precedence over communication. The result is a body of work that feel precise, enigmatic, and quietly assertive. Je Ne Me Soucie Pas De invites viewers to consider how words occupy space, and to encounter language not just as a statement, but as structure, rhythm, and form.
