Biography
Jonathan Wain is a contemporary Spanish artist known for his distinctive approach to visual storytelling. His art frequently employs multi-layered imagery, creating complex compositions that invite viewers to explore deeper meanings. Wain often incorporates text into his works, drawing onto and defacing the depicted images, which adds an additional layer of interpretation and engagement.
Imaginative play is a significant component of Wain's work, heavily influenced by Picasso's technique of "unlearning." He emulates childlike drawings, embracing spontaneity and raw expression. This theme of unlearning is central to his art, as he seeks to reject coercion and conformity within popular culture, advocating for a return to more authentic and uninhibited forms of creativity.
Through his unique artistic style, Wain challenges conventional perspectives and encourages a fresh, more liberated way of viewing the world.

Reviews and comments
I suppose if I picture them as little MAGA guys beating Capitol police, it makes sense, but this is an affront to Basquiat and his message. I'm sure there's a market for such pieces among wealthy Americans and white nationalists.
If you picture them as MAGA beating the police it makes sense to you?
You may be suffering from the effects of mind control. If I were you Id watch less tv and make a few lifestyle changes.
There is a disturbing amount of people who like the idea of a Marxist society where everyone is under surveillance and your country is infiltrated by foreign cultures, but Im not one of them.
Maybe you should look at the 'bigger picture' like losing your freedom to see what is the real agenda.
You have an interesting style. Beautiful
I am in awe of the ethereal quality your pastels bring to these abstracts. Fantastic work!
Thanks Anna for your inspiring comment.
