Italian Jonathan Bishop born in London 1974 The figures of Jonathan's paintings belong to an optimistic sort of utopia, but one that needn't be an anachronism, as they never purport to be anything more than paintings. His work is precisely unconcerned with communicating a verbal ideal, but is, rather, a humbly ambitious ideal in itself. That people see and respond to beautiful aesthetics is all that the characters of Jonathan's creations ask of you. Aesthetics are their language. Jonathan's recent paintings assemble enigmatic, yet faintly recognisable, forms and people, in a multicoloured festival against a white background. Butterflies and flowers join people, balloons and square-humped giraffes in a celebration of community and recreation. The shapes that comprise these communities seem to be ambassadors of the interface between the psychological and objective realms: the intersecting circles and lines are nearly archetypes and nearly recognisable objects...
