Artist Statement

Jonathan’s site-specific installations have been recipients of a number of highly-coveted and competitive awards, including the WW SOLO Award in 2012, and the 2014 Saatchi Art Colour Showdown Competition – the most highly submitted online art prize in the world.  His first successful solo exhibition “SYSTEM” at the WW Gallery in January 2013, was followed by a second solo show “Opera Rose” at Abrooks Art Gallery.  This was met with critical acclaim and listed in the top 5 shows to visit in Whitechapel Gallery’s First Thursdays.  Jonathan has had works exhibited at the Griffin Gallery, and his installation “Chameleon: Mars Black + Cadium Yellow” was commissioned by the Affordable Art Fair for their Hampstead site in 2014.  He was nominated by Axisweb in 2013 as one of ten contemporary artists to watch and invest in.  His work “black + multiple 24” was selected by Alison Wilding for APT’s Creekside Open 2017.  Currently his site-specific work "Wonder and War in Heaven” is one of seven artists’ works commissioned for Sculpt, Art in Churches Trail in North Yorkshire.
