Yellow Landscape
One of a series of paintings carried out as the initial lockdown was lifted, that reflect the liberating influence of the end of lockdown. Freedom to roam; summer; harvest time. A very expressionistic release and a change of palette. From this series emerged a number of large canvases that explored the reconnection with our environment, and the pleasure of movement through it.

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’.
