Jonathan Forrest is a Canadian painter who splits his time between Vancouver Island and a small town in Saskatchewan, where he has a studio in a renovated church. He completed his Masters Degree in Fine Art at the University of Saskatchewan in 1991 and has maintained a studio practice for several decades. His work is in the collections of numerous significant Canadian collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank, the Glenbow Museum, the Mendel Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Alberta and the Bank of Montreal Collection.
From his artist statement:
My work is a combination of intuitive responses to the world around me, an ongoing dialogue with contemporary and historical painting, and an enthusiastic immersion in the material process of making objects. My natural openness and curiosity has kept me alert to a range of potential approaches to art-making and my creative process is positive – I’m interested in creating something new, something generous and giving, and something that sustains me in the studio.
