Giclee print on fine art paper

Jonathan Luke

The artwork Garden Ring XII formed part of a large solo exhibition of the artist’s work entitled Blue Silence in autumn 2013 at the Russian Academy of Arts (run in conjunction with the Moscow Museum of Modern Art). The print captures a very quiet moment on the normally manic central ring road, called the Garden Ring, in Moscow.

It combines the use of canvas, oil paint, projection and current day digital photography and is presented as a limited edition giclée print on fine art paper.

The effect has produced an image which could equally relate to the past (Sasha Burkhanova who curated the exhibition in Moscow wrote “the very air of Moscow, famous for having its certain smell, is employed by the artist as a vintage-style filter that corresponds to the pleasant nostalgic feeling of ‘good old Moscow’, celebrated in the old Soviet movies”), the present and the future.

Jonathan Luke is based in a studio in Wimbledon. He draws on his surroundings, which include frequent visits to Scotland and Russia, and regularly works with abstract themes. His finished pieces are usually either oil on canvas or multimedia giclée prints.
