Jonathan Newey
Newey is a Reading based artist who creates impactful, abstract work.
Combining images of the Earth taken from space, along with sketches of cracks in walls and patterns found on the bark of trees. Newey uses thick paint to create texture within his work. He then applies washes of liquid acrylic to the surface, rubbing it off in places and then applying more layers. This layering of thin washes gives his work depth and a luminosity that picks up on the intriguing detail left behind by the first coat of heavily textured paint.
