ARTIST & DESIGNER

Jonathan Lawes is a contemporary artist and designer known for his bold, geometric, and vibrant abstract works. Based in south east London, Jonathan creates visually striking compositions that blend fine art and design, balancing shape, colour, and texture with a refined, intuitive approach.

A graduate of Leeds Arts University with a BA in Printed Textiles & Surface Pattern Design (2009), Jonathan spent several formative years developing his practice in Berlin before returning to the UK. His distinctive visual language is defined by layered shapes, intricate patterns, and a rhythmic interplay of colour and form. Abstract compositions form through an organic, process-led technique that embraces experimentation and evolves through the act of screen printing.

Jonathan’s work has been exhibited widely and he has collaborated with leading brands across interiors, fashion, and lifestyle, including The Conran Shop, COS, Oliver Spencer, Joseph Joseph, and Gandia Blasco.
