Edinburgh based artist Jonathan Barber creates atmospheric abstracted work based around light, darkness, shape, movement and presence.
His new body of work explores the interplay between landscape, presence, mark making and negative space. For these enquiries he delves into the captivating realm of collaged monoprints and papers on board. Each gestural mark alludes to the recording of a place, contrasted with flat areas of colour. These works serve as a testament to the impermanence of existence inviting the viewer to a dialogue between the external environment and the inner self.
After graduating from the School of Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art in 2008, Jonathan has continued to create and exhibit his work while also teaching Art and Design across primary, secondary, and college levels
