Was born in 1965 in Great Britain. He lives and works in London.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

British artist Jonathan gathers the diversity of his paintings and drawings under one single theme: the human condition.\u00a0 Deriving from his philosophic and psychological research – Huxley\u2019s art acknowledges references to Jean-Paul Sartre or Irvin Yalom\u2019s existentialism.<\/p>\n

For more than 20 years now – Jonathan Huxley has been exploring the human figure and the living in general (including animals). His “figurescapes” consist in a process of arbitrary repetition of one same image and one same movement: he endlessly extends a set of forms and colors – until the latter becomes a sort of pattern.<\/p>\n

The repetition of the images and the pattern is used as meditation tool. The artist observed for a long time Tibetan monk\u2019s religious and artistic rite; therefore it is not surprising that Jonathan Huxley got inspired by the meditative process of creation and by the mandala and mantra\u2019s shapes in particular.<\/p>\n
