Jonathan Wain

I use recurring themes based upon my own perceptions of the world we live in. Realism can feature in my work sometimes but I'm generally driven by abstraction. The process has to be enjoyable, quick and not labored. Creative play forms a large part of the artwork. I was influenced by Picasso's 'unlearning' process of imitating childlike drawing. This was reflected in the theme of the work also, unlearning the falsehood that exists in the world.

My theme is generally focused on 'trust' and 'deception'.  Process wise I like to have contrasts juxtaposed in the piece. I´d make a stencil, and push some acrylic through it instead of spraying. Then I'd paint over them so that they became partially defaced and lost in the painting. This was to recreate a visual way of showing how things are hidden. Again in the world there are things obscured within events. These events draw our attention but the surface of them hides something deeper.
