Originally from the North East of Scotland, trained at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen and now based in Sussex, Jonathan Smith’s luminous paintings explore the relationships between light and landscape, colour and space, surface and depth.

Developed from carefully observed drawings of Hebridean coastline, Cornish harbours, hidden corners of Sussex and weathered fishing boats, his process involves walking, watching and recording in all weathers .

His work is held in private and public collections in the UK, Europe, the US and the Far East and has been shown by the RBA and RA.
