Jonathan Rogers
Jonathan Rogers (died 2023) created paintings with vibrant washes of colours of various consistencies.
Composed largely of vertical and horizontal sweeps worked and reworked across the canvas, his paintings developed gradually by building up layers of translucent marks. As part of the structure of his work, Jonathan frequently interspersed painting with a separate drawing activity, either on paper or in his sketchbook. These compositions in pencil depicted characters and lettering revealing his personality and humour, sometimes referring to specific people or favourite food and drink.
