We’re delighted to welcome Jonathan Oakes to Park Gallery.
Originally from Sheffield, Jonathan spent much of his early life exploring the landscapes of the Peak District — a lasting influence that continues to shape his work today. His abstract paintings are richly layered with texture, mark making and atmosphere, often unfolding through conversations of meandering thought, visual fragments and subtle narratives that invite the viewer’s imagination.
After studying Visual Art and Professional Media, Jonathan exhibited widely before spending a number of years immersed in sound editing and digital music production — an experience that still echoes through the rhythm and depth of his paintings today.
We’re excited to now be showing Jonathan’s work here at Park Gallery.
