Jon Doran

Jon Doran's oil paintings explore traditional subjects such as landscape, still life, and figurative forms through a disrupted realism. His practice combines contemporary techniques with a classical underpinning in drawing. Surfaces are often marked by scrapes and slashes; yet, when viewed from a distance, the image resolves as a whole. His work pursues a reflective, contemplative sense of the sublime, seeking moments of peace within the modern age. Through a considered use of colour, tone, and the poetics of light, his paintings convey the elusive qualities of the Cornish atmosphere in which he works.
