Jones's work consists of monochrome abstracts, which have been described as adjacent to Neo-conceptual art[7] or belonging to the Process Art tradition.[8] However, above Jones is called one of a generation of artists who spearheaded a move away from conceptual, installation and video art in favour of a ‘return to painting’. His canvases are stretched over deep frames. The paint appears scraped on in layers, usually horizontal. The dragged surface of the canvas rather than being smooth has varying degrees of surface incident.[9]

Zebedee Jones lives and works in London.[10][11]
