Working from his studio in South East London, Jonathan Lawes uses paper stencils to create multilayered unique screen prints.

Jonathan creates prints with a distinctly graphic edge, reflecting his love of geometry, shape, and pattern. Working in a loose, organic way, abstract compositions are formed and ultimately develop as his printing process evolves. He has a keen eye for colour and layering techniques, masking some areas off while revealing flashes of intense colour in others.

His compositions evolve as he is printing; he often returns to a work to add another layer or colour until he feels the composition is complete. In doing so, whilst the construction is a celebration of geometry and pattern, his work conveys a hand finished and organic feel. 

Jonathan Lawes is also exhibiting Tropics 01 and Downtown 01.
