The artist

Jonathan Wickers (1940–2018) was a British abstract painter whose mature body of work was produced between 2006 and 2018. Educated at Central Saint Martins, London, he developed a process-led painting practice focused on colour, gesture, and material presence.

Influenced by jazz, landscape, and lived sensory experience, his work explores rhythm, chance, and emotional intensity through richly layered abstraction.

His late paintings form the central achievement of his career and are now being actively stewarded by his estate.
