Alien Jones is an outstanding representative of the British pop art, who has been affected by the abstractism when studying the art, and was crazy about the research of ready-made arts in his youth period and especially during his sojourn in the United States. He tried to combine the adult women＇s statue with furniture, thus creating the remarkable female semi-bare sculpture furniture series. Jones took maternity as the theme in his youth, and successfully attracted the attention by the arts community and even more people in other field. When he entered into his middle age, he began to take the life scenarios as the creative object, so as to express his thinking about the female maternal. In his later years, Jones backed to the creation of abstract performance, reflecting his concern for the painting essence. Jones＇s pursuit of female maternal art has continued to this day, and his bold challenge spirit on the secular aesthetic is respected by the descendants.
