Jon's art is multi faceted and fits within three classic activities: Drawing, Painting and Printing.
He is based and is a founder artist member of Chisenhale Art Place in an old veneer factory, in London’s East End, near Victoria Park, where the artists built the studios with their own hands in 1980.In the first half of his talk, he will show his work that begins ‘Plain air,’ outside, before nature where his concerns are various, the movement of elemental forces, the forests and fields that ride them or in the particular, a peculiar insect clambering amongst the grass. He will demonstrate his techniques: using the yolk of an egg to mix pigments to make paint and also, through the democracy of Cast-printing, his invention. In the second half, Jon will tell of his journeys in Africa by bike from Gambia to Cameron through his paintings.
Sonny Dewfall, a talented young musician, will accompany Jon on this journey with his voice and guitar.
