Ascend by Jonathan Lawes

Jonathan Lawes​ London

After graduating from Leeds Arts University in 2009, with a Bachelor of Arts in Printed Textiles & Surface Pattern Design, Jonathan moved abroad and spent the best part of a decade living and working in Berlin.

In 2018 Jonathan relocated back to the UK and began to develop his practice further. Despite training as a designer he has now taken on a more artistic pathway, experimenting predominantly with the silkscreen printing process.

Jonathan creates prints with a distinctly graphic edge, reflecting his love of geometry, shape, and pattern. He has a keen eye for nuance and layering, paying close attention to color and detail. Working in a loose and organic way, abstract compositions are formed and ultimately develop due to his genuine enthusiasm for, and evolution of, the printing process.
