Jon Colman

Jon Colman is a professional Photographic Artist, who specialises in Landscape and Wildlife imagery. He has exhibited Internationally with The Royal Photographic Society of London, and locally at galleries in South Africa. In 2015 Jon displayed across the UK with the Photographic Angle "Wildlife of the World" exhibition.

He was invited to participate in “The image says it all” exhibition at The Exposure Gallery, Cape Town, and has been commissioned to supply his signature Baobab images, to hang at the Waterfall Valley Club House in Johannesburg, and The Baobab Learning Centre for Murray & Roberts. He also featured in the Collectors Guide to Art & Artists in South Africa.

Jon has sold over 2,500 pieces of his work internationally.

Jon has travelled extensively through South and East Africa to photograph material that can be used for his photographic art-works. Jon’s creative workflow, is to envision a final image, then to photograph subjects from which the image can be created, via digital darkroom techniques using a Wacom Tablet and pen. Many hours are spent enhancing or removing aspects of the photo to create a fresh and engaging image that allows the viewer to connect, but think differently about the encounter than if it was just a photograph.

Most of Jon’s work is printed as a large format work on stretched canvas at 140x100cm. Each is numbered and signed as part of a limited run of 24 pieces. Archival quality canvas and inks are used to give the finest results and other sizes can be produced.

Jon's work can be viewed at the following Galleries:-

Lone Hill Art Gallery - Lone Hill Shopping center, Lone Hill, Fourways.

Purple Heart Gallery. Honeydew.

iCreate Gallery - Dullstroom.

I hope you enjoy.
