About

Canadian artist Jonathan Forrest paints with an exuberance of colour and full shapes which fill his canvases. His artwork displays a unique colour sensibility and painting process which build upon lessons learned over forty years of studio work. The paintings in Momentum feature four, five, or six vertical columns of pulled paint that jostle and nudge each other across the surfaces. Starting with a raw canvas background, the applied colours become translucent and filled with light, an effect heightened by the added use of acrylic washes.
