about — Jon Bolles

Statement

I am attracted to a kind of orchestration of color, shape and light, which I often find in the built-environment and its collision with the natural environment. Portraits of buildings and vacant lots possess a unique personality and psychological gravitas. I am a figurative painter, but I embrace painting’s fundamentally-abstract nature.
