Tapestry
A wondrous woven magic
In bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see
Impossible to hold
A purely abstract, joyous and colourful that raises the spirit, and reminds one that there is so much going on and nothing going on. Yet the painting remains a calm response.

Portraying the Essence
This theme has emerged as some of the paintings and sketches themselves have been deconstructed and abstracted. This provides the opportunity to play with colour and shape, and to create paintings of detail and depth. Scenes are painted over and over. Each picture dissects the landscape to expose its essence and abstracts and ‘decorates’ the result of this analysis. This has been the case when Jon has painted a favourite area in Scotland where the landscape is both sensual and evocative. The theme of Details is built up from the landscape around the River Fleet valley in Scotland.

The Artist
Jon Rowland
Jon draws on locations that have played a part in his ‘artistic journey’, exploring space, light and colour, and it is this juxtaposition. He manipulates emerging abstraction to express the essence of a particular ‘place’.
