Jon Jones | Back To The Beginning 2025
Changes £695
Hand-signed embellished canvas on board limited edition by Jon Jones.
Figurative artist Jon Jones pays homage to heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath in this striking group portrait, marking the band's homecoming, and final, concert in Birmingham in 2025.
Sharon Osbourne personally selected this image of the band from the early 1970s for Jones to recreate. In it we see the fresh-faced Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward at the start of their genre-defining rise to global fame.
Considered the 'original' heavy metal band by many, 'Changes' captures the group's raw energy, rebellious spirit and deeply embedded legacy in global music culture.
The gritty, urban style of Jon Jones' art is reflective of the origin story of Black Sabbath, which saw these four young men looking to escape a life of factory work through music in 1960s Birmingham. But it was the second city's industrial core that wound up birthing an entirely new music genre by chance.
"Being from Birmingham, everyone I spoke to had their own Sabbath tale to tell. The thing that struck me was that every single story was positive. They are true legends - in Birmingham and beyond."- Jon Jones
