Jonathan Lawes: The Shape of Colour
-
Overview
We are delighted to present Jonathan’s debut solo exhibition with Air Contemporary, featuring a new body of work and his largest pieces to date. The exhibition brings together works on paper, large-scale panels, and three-dimensional pieces, offering a broad view of his evolving practice.
The Shape of Colour marks a natural step forward, giving Jonathan the space to work at a scale he’s wanted to explore for some time.
His process begins intuitively, building compositions from shapes and colours that feel right together. Using screen printing as a hands-on, painterly tool, he layers prints to create depth, movement, and energy, with colour often guiding how each work develops. His influences range from modernist design to the rhythms and structures of architecture and urban environments.Jonathan’s work stands out for its distinct visual voice, combining graphic clarity with fine-art ambition. His pieces are fresh and contemporary yet grounded in craftsmanship. As he continues to explore new surfaces, textures, and collaborations, it’s clear he’s an artist with real momentum: one very much worth keeping an eye on.
