British pop artist Allen Jones returns to the subject of supermodel Kate Moss in his latest exhibition in London, which once more puts the female form center-stage in sculptures ranging from the hyper-realistic to the abstract.

The 78-year-old artist has been exploring the female figure in his work for half a century, with some of his earlier pieces such as Hatstand, Table and Chair provoking controversy for their sexual charge.

"I'm totally uninterested in shocking people, I'm quite interested in shocking art," Jones said during a press preview for the Colour Matters exhibition.

"Somehow or other, it became clear to me about 45 years ago that it was the figure that I was really preoccupied with, and depicting it and the relationships that figures can have with each other is... basically my subject matter."

Jones is also known for his 2013 work Body Armour, a portrait of Moss wearing a body cast sculpture that he had made in 1978.

Over the past 40 years, Jones's work has been exhibited around the world, with a major retrospective at the Royal Academy in London last year.

The will run at Marlborough Fine Art in London until January 23.
