Biography

Often depicting domestic scenes both interior and exterior, Jonathan Wateridge’s canvases evoke a duality of familiarity and strangeness. In recent years, Wateridge has reinvented his visual language, presenting a distinctive vision that combines high-modern formalism with echoes of the cinematic. In contrast to the modelled realism of his earlier works, his current ghost-like figures are charged with feelings of isolation and uncertainty. These atomized and translucent beings are seamlessly interrupted by or absorbed into their environments, inviting contemplation on the social relationship between these figures and the insecurity of their world.

Jonathan Wateridge (b. 1972, Lusaka, ZM) lives and works in Norfolk (UK). His work is the subject of two comprehensive monographs Uncertain Swimmer (2023) and Enclave / Expatria (2019) published by Anomie.
