Artist

I remember my art teacher putting a piece of my work up on the wall and said 'This is good jon' which was amazing considering every other teacher was telling me to be quite or asking me to leave the classroom. Since then I preety much have been creating art I work as Painter, percussionist with DJs, performer, writer, and teacher. My current show is called The Theory of everything. Albert Einstein had three great theories. His first theory of Special Relativity (1905) gave us E = mc, which led to the atomic bomb and unlocked the secret of the stars. His second great theory was General Relativity (1915), which gave us space warps, the Big Bang, and black holes. But many don't realize that his greatest theory was never finished: "a theory of everything". Einstein's crowning achievement was to have been the unified field theory, an attempt to "read the mind of God". But on the third try, Einstein failed. He spent the last 30 years of his life chasing after an equation, perhaps no more than one inch long, that would explain all physical phenomena. Everything from Creation, to supernovas, to atoms and molecules, perhaps even DNA, people, and love was to be explained by this equation.

This has interested me greatly an interconnecting model that binds everything within the Universe from the Big Bang to you reading this on a wall on the saatchi website A binding of everything, and everything being connected. The composition of my paintings are created by one single action a line that interconnects with every curve and bend and swurling action creating complex cubist compositions created through an instant subconscious act. Very similar to Pollock's daring abstract work legitimized the convergence and mastery of chance, intuition, and control. Layered skeins of paint generate beauty and order out of seemingly random gestures.

I have related this to the composition of my paintings as through the process of scribbling there is a coalition from the action to the completion of the piece through a single action a line which can be traced from the beginning to the end. My interest is in the anarchic composition of scribbling and the balance of structure and colour when filling in the gaps. Theres a curiosity that arrives from the act of scribbling a pure form of visual expression an immediate, spontaneous response, without thought of design or composition.
