The Wilder Shore of Love
The Wilder Shore of Love is a paean to the south coast, the celebration of distance, natural power and shoreline. The colours reflect those one finds at the edges of city, where the built and unbuilt merge. The colour is both sombre and alive. The depth of the painting reflects both the underlying nature of movement, and the immediacy of the paint exemplifies continual change.

Places and Spaces
A number of locations have influenced ideas on abstraction. Many pictures are painted ‘en plein air’, whether in Cuba, Provence, Devon, or the Scottish Coast - where the environment continually changes. In some cases he explores space, light, and colour. Hot sands in high summer, winter rains at high tide, peaty streams as the snow melts are part of this theme. Painting at the edge of water requires the ability to capture the essence of the moment before it’s lost. He draws on influences from both west coast America and the new English landscape scene.

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’.
