Jonathan Sobol

Painter and Sculptor

Jonathan Sobols paintings focus on relationships. "Nothing stands alone in this universe, all actions touch something else, and there is nothing inconsequential or petty about life."

With this philosophy one finds an integrity and holistic drama played out in his work. Figures and forms composed of sculpted areas of color interact and overlay each other, effecting each other and transmuting their interactions into yet another relationship.

The beguilingly simple forms and compositions become richer and more meaningful as the eye moves fluidly through the canvas. Ones physical tensions become lessened by the calmness emanating from the surfaces.

The paintings seem to live in parallel universes simultaneously, the forms at first seem normal and familiar, but shift with time into a dimension which although familiar is undeniably different from our routine sense of reality.
