This week’s Artwork of the Week is a self-portrait, painted by Jonathan Beatts.
Far from traditional, this portrait is portrayed on a plethora of electric colour and contrasts in order to capture the self of the artist; the vibrancy and energy of the piece clearly comes through – almost leaping from the canvas – to provide a truly memorable artwork, filled with vitality and character. You can see this piece and a number of other superb works by our talented young artists in the Art Matters exhibition, currently being held in our gallery. This exhibition will end on the 28th of September, so see it while you can!
