Jonathan Parker

£0.00

Known for his portrait paintings and complex painterly narratives, Parker's concern lies in emphasising the fragility of the environments he is portraying. Often, he suggests depth with a far horizon, the distance creating space for ideas and symbols to appear, for the mind to consider.

"The reward is in the painting itself. The mystery exists here in our minds and there in the surface of the painting every time we look, depending on the light. It is like when we remember a dream, seeing again an uncontrolled trigger point of emotion. The truth is revealed only after it is painted, symbolic of the time. A passing comment within the story of art. We are just symbol-mongerers."
