As a passionate nature lover and outdoors person, Jan Philip Raath's work is mostly focused on ecological issues, especially on the overlap between human landscapes and "raw" nature. Often taking on the form of ephemeral research projects into the materiality of art production, his work emphasizes underlying ideas and processes that are regularly over looked or taken for granted. Due to the ever changing nature of his art practice he realizing projects in a wide range of media from sculpture and printmaking, to photography. He started his studies in fine arts at the University of the Free State in 2007. He went on to complete his BA and MFA in Fine Arts at the Michaelis School of Fine Arts in Cape Town, South Africa. Between studies he did an apprenticeship at a professional Printmaking studio, thereafter establishing his own traveling print studio. He is currently based in Auckland, New Zealand where he continues to pursue his love of representing the natural world through his art practice.
