Jonas Wood — Bowe
Jonas Wood

Bowe

A dynamic portrait rendered in Jonas Wood's signature flat, graphic style, "Bowe" employs bold blocks of color and confident linework to capture its subject with a sense of immediacy. The combination of gouache and colored pencil on paper creates a rich interplay of opaque, matte surfaces and delicate mark-making, reflecting Wood's interest in blending fine art traditions with a contemporary, almost cartoonish sensibility.
