Jonathon Fisher

I am a mark-maker.

With automative, intuitive strokes, and intricate details, my artistic practice examines human existence and its connection to the natural landscape, exploring how our physical presence shapes and is shaped by our environments.

As an artist, I investigate the relationship between individual experiences and wider societal narratives, drawing inspiration from both popular culture and personal encounters.

My work depicts human figures within surreal or abstracted landscapes, creating scenes that reflect the tension between the familiar and the otherworldly. By placing figures in raw, often chaotic settings—whether urban environments, imagined worlds, or elements of an environmental context—I aim to evoke an expression of fractured existence and tenuous connection, as well as an intergenerational conversation. My practice invites viewers to engage with these fragmented realities as well as their own place within the larger social and environmental context.
