" My primary concern is colour. I enjoy the conflict between rushes of vibrant colour and bold, stark lines. Colour gives roundness to a surface, depth in a feeling of a surface. Colour is the rhythm. form and mood of a picture. Secondary to colour comes content. When I paint a picture I try to make the ordinary more extraordinary, each work being a feeling of my personal state of mind at that time.

I have always been fascinated by humanity, the humour of a situation, and the bleakness of life.. I return constantly to still life and wildlife for inspiration. My great fondness for animals and musical instruments appear in my compositions. I paint what I see."  Jonathan Knuttle.

The Waldock Art Gallery has now been selling Jonathan's paintings for more than five years. We were the first Dublin Art Gallery to showcase his work. His modern art, or pop art paintings, in their bold acrylic colours of reds, blues, greens and yellows are well suited to modern homes, apartments and offices. His work is also often compared to modern Spanish art. His backdrops of sunflowers and poppies provide a surreal landscape for his figurative paintings.
