Artist Statement:
My medium is art photography.
This means there is no claim
of documentary realism - the
pictures are created to
present an idea but based
originally on photographs and
(mostly) having the style of a
photographic image. I work in
South West England and he
Charente region of France. My
subject is an exploration of
beauty and dreams - I see more
than enough of troubling
reality to want to project it
further.
My work covers 40 years
starting with B&W bleak
landscapes through abstract
nudes, portraits, dance &
theatre to the added dimension
of colour and emphasis on
personal experience and
subconscious mythology. I am
always improvising, trying to
learn from the images and
people's reactions to them.
My own website is a portal to
my longstanding photo.net
gallery which includes a lot
of background information
about the images. I also have
a blog which I have just
re-activated. I plan to add
the stories behind many of my
photo series, old and new.

Jonathan Charles's Free Artist Portfolio
Welcome to Jonathan Charles's Portfolio.
My subject in this portfolio is the ideal of humanity in harmony with nature, as exemplified by Eve in the Garden of Eden. This theme is found in the mythology of cultures in all parts of the world and throughout and history showing it to be a powerful force in our subconscious lives. The nude female figure not only represents the abstract concepts of beauty and humanity but is a witness to the scene, so we can identify with her and experience it with all our senses.... |
