JONATHAN PINKETT - His own words:
“I was born in Philadelphia Pa in 1949. I grew up in South Philadelphia a few blocks from the Philadelphia College of Art. After studying filmmaking at the Philadelphia College of Art, I moved to New York
to study drawing and painting at an Atelier led by master painters Jacob Collins and Colleen Barry. My technique is an indirect painting practice that is influenced by the Florentine school and the Dutch Golden age (13th-16th centuries). Until recently, the techniques of the old masters had almost completely evaporated from contemporary art. My work is an effort to preserve those techniques.
Figurative Painting has the ability to communicate in great depth, detail, and sophistication the most powerful moments in life. As figurative painter. My focus is not so much the subject as it is the light that illuminates the person depicted. Light is a language that describes form. As I painter I am translating that light and form to the canvas as a visual language. This language enables me to accomplish my primary goal, which is to communicate my love of nature. I completed three month Residency at The Barnes Foundation in 2019.”
