Jonathan Retallick, born in 1996 on Ynys Môn, Wales, intricately merges experimental drawing with abstract oil painting. Inspired by Wales’ shifting weather and landscape, he began experimenting in 2018 with innovative oil paint applications using handmade tools, evolving his unique process. His paintings develop organically, presenting an almost photographic realism imbued with emotional resonance. Beginning without a predetermined image in mind, his paintings unfold through a controlled yet spontaneous methodology, inviting viewers into a reflective interaction.
