at a glance Signed, original acrylic 59" x 39" box canvas £3,250 Ideal for: A contemporary wall characterised by exposed brick and raw concrete, or a high-volume stairwell return. This is tailored for the collector who demands a non-narrative, physical statement of scale, and an interior where the geometry of the architecture can frame the painting's internal verticality. We’ve commissioned and purchased work through Alex. His paintings are beautiful, they ship to the US in perfect condition and get a lot of compliments. Alex is great to work with - we love the art! Aaron & Darcy - Virginia 🇺🇸 in depth The Vertical Thrust: The composition is built on a hypnotic sequence of stacked vertical bands that dominate the five-foot width of the canvas. These vary from broad, scumbled blocks of deep charcoal and midnight blue to high-key, razor-thin slices of textured copper and pale blue, creating a visual acceleration that pulls the eye upward. Material Accumulation: Jon has applied heavy impasto with a palette knife, leaving horizontal drags and cross-hatched marks visible within the vertical columns. This physical residue catches the ambient light of the home from varied angles, ensuring the surface is never static but functions as a tactile, layered object. Chromatic Stratification: The painting relies on the deliberate stratification of temperature. Deep, light-absorbing purples and indigos are physically split by incandescent vertical veins of rich amber glaze, creating a permanent visual tension across the expansive surface.
