Jonny Carter biog

Jonny Carter is a young emerging artist who studied at Bath Spa university.  Following his graduation in 2008 Carter had a sell out show in Cornwall and has since been working on a new body of work for the launch of bo lee gallery.

His practice involves painting, drawing, photography and silkscreen printing. The works have evolved from processes of continual exploration and engagement with subjects such as living organisms and natural phenomenon, as well as hyper-realities found in simulations and simulacrum.

Carter’s most recent drawings have involved a painstaking process of filling in detailed pencil drawings taken from his own photorahy with graphite. The consistent rhythm and technique forms shimmering surfaces that mimic mechanical reproductions. These surfaces show traces of the time and thinking involved throughout the rigorous and meditative process.
