Object Description
The original acrylic on canvas painting by Jonathan Trim is ready to be displayed. The artist has chosen a calming subject matter which is enhanced through the use of earth tones.
Jonathan studied Art at Southend School of Art and Leeds University/Huddersfield Polytechnic. Over the years he has established a reputation for paintings of atmospheric landscapes. Jonathan works from his studio near the Thames estuary often beginning the work out in the location. The environments of estuaries, rivers and the low lying wetlands of Britain and the landscape of France are his constant sources of inspiration. He spends time every summer painting in South West France. He has developed a deep awareness and intense relationship to these types of landscapes. His works are imbued with a deep sense of time and memory resulting in paintings that are rich in personal responses. His work is always about the spirit of the place and the feelings of connection and continuity. His painting methods frequently use textural materials from these areas which are embedded into the paint creating an interesting surface texture to the work. He applies colour using a wide variety of techniques to capture the flickering light and atmosphere of these locations. The paintings are about the ever changing qualities of light and the sounds and feelings of existing in these landscapes.
