Patina Original by Jonathan Retallick
Jonathan Retallick
Oil on board
8x8 Inches
Patina is a corruptive effect of time. I have used this motif to comment on our
human forms of ageing and how in most cases we become more beautiful over
time.
Jonathan was born and raised on Anglesey. In his younger years, he often walked the North Wales countryside with local artists and was inspired by the special places nestled in the sublime landscapes. He expresses this passion by showing the effect that both artificial and natural light have on organic environments, developing a non-representational way of oil painting that mirrors his experiences of the world he finds so visually fascinating.
Jonathan studied Fine Art at Aberystwyth University, graduating with First-Class Honours in 2020, before returning to his hometown and establishing a studio. He held his first solo show in Canfas, Cardigan, and has displayed paintings in several group shows including Lone Worlds in Cardiff, an exhibition of Young Welsh Artists in MOMA, Machynlleth, and the Exhibition of Contemporary Welsh Art in London.www.instagram.com.creepygrape https://www.facebook.com/creepygrape/
