Jonas Wood

This book was published on the occasion of Jonas Wood at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, an exhibition of new paintings by the artist. In these works, Wood explores color, pattern, and space through the treatment of recurring subjects, including plants, family, and interiors. As is often true in Wood’s work, the imagery in the exhibition is encoded with personal significance, each painting corresponding to a key element or moment from the artist’s life. His compositions are characterized by the collision of contrasting graphic passages, and by shifts of scale and perspective within a compressed picture plane. The catalogue includes color plates and details of the twelve exhibited paintings, alongside photography of the artist’s studio.
