Jonathan Kearney is not only a visiting lecturer in Art at the University of the Arts, London and an artist living and working in Kunming China, he is also the much appreciated Curator of TCG Nordica.
Jonathan mainly uses white glue and acrylic paint. This is poured over canvas surfaces. Jonathan’s influence over the flow during the long periods of pouring and drying is the area that he has found the most fascinating. Films, canvases and prints are often made, capturing the amazing details and moments in time that he observes. Bringing these moments ‘into the light’ is part of the motivation for his recent exhibitions.
Jonathan has exhibited extensively over the past 12 years, including in Beijing and Shanghai.
He works in his studio and studies Chinese while in Kunming. In his work as visiting lecturer for the University of the Arts, he uses the internet, chat and video conferencing technologies to teach while living in China. He also lectures at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. Currently Jonathan not only works as curating consultant for TCG Nordica, but also as artistic consultant to a Beijing based art education company. He also helped run the innovative, artist run space, ‘House Gallery’ in London for 6 years.
And yes, we should mention that he is from Liverpool.
