Two widely respected U.K. artists, Jon Adam and Jason
Anderson, are exhibiting together in November at The Salt House in West Bay.
Their three-day collaborative exhibition, ‘PARALLEL ORIGINS’, is the first time
the two have exhibited together, and their unique yet complementary styles
offer individual perspectives and distinct artistic voices with a deep
connection to the region.
‘PARALLEL ORIGINS’ is at The Salt House in West Bay (UK) from
Friday 15th to Sunday 17th November 2024.
7.00pm to 9.00pm
Friday 15th November 2024
The Salt House, West Bay, DT6 4HB, United Kingdom

My art career started with a stained glass apprenticeship - during which I was lucky enough to work on restoration projects such as York Minster, Gloucester and Wells cathedrals.
I quickly progressed onto design work which taught me to compose and stylise subject matter around a 'jigsaw' of painted glass - an approach which still drives my work today.
I am fascinated by colour and work with a strong palette to create deep impasto effects with the paint.
I relish the often frantic nature of mixing and arranging the paint in thick impressionistic daubs, and submitting to a process that creates its own detail and form.
This forces me to be bold and decisive; it also produces a kaleidoscope of shape and tone (reminiscent of stained-glass) which portrays the ever-present movement and energy found in nature.
This approach creates a painting which, like the landscape, is constantly changing. So, as you move around the room and the ridges of paint catch the light, there is always something new to see.
