Description:
Jonathan Forrest: Mind Over Matter
Please join us for the opening reception on
Saturday, November 6 from 2 - 4 pm.
Artist in attendance.
The playful abstract work of Jonathan Forrest combines a boundless energy with vibrant and engaging colour. His bold geometric forms burst off the canvas with his reimagining of impasto painting techniques. By building up smooth layers of paint in isolated sections of the image, Forrest adds a unique physical dimension to his canvas.
After the completion of his BFA in 1983, Jonathan Forrest received his MFA at University of Saskatchewan in 1991. Exhibited in commercial and public spaces since the 1980’s, Forrest’s artwork belongs to many highly regarded collections. Originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, Jonathan Forrest currently resides in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
