About the Item
In Jonathan Speed's "Weekend Sail," the viewer is transported into a realm of tranquility and exploration, where the vast expanse of the ocean meets the ethereal beauty of the sky in a captivating display of color and movement. Executed with acrylic on canvas, this original abstract landscape painting captures the essence of a leisurely sail on a peaceful weekend afternoon.
At the heart of the composition lies a serene seascape, painted in soothing shades of blue that evoke a sense of calm and serenity. The sea stretches out before the viewer, its surface gently undulating as it disappears into the misty horizon. The horizon line, barely discernible, adds to the sense of expansiveness and mystery, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the boundless expanse of the ocean.
Amidst the tranquil waters, a sailboat emerges from the mist, its silhouette barely visible against the backdrop of the sea and sky. The boat's sails, depicted in delicate shades of white, billow softly in the breeze, capturing the essence of movement and adventure. Though small in scale, the sailboat serves as a powerful symbol of freedom and exploration, embodying the spirit of adventure that lies at the heart of the painting.
Speed's use of color is masterful, with shades of blue dominating the palette and hints of white adding depth and contrast to the composition. The interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of atmosphere and depth, drawing the viewer deeper into the scene and imbuing it with a sense of life and vitality.
Framed and signed by the artist, "Weekend Sail" is ready to be displayed and cherished in any space. Whether hung in a living room, office, or seaside retreat, this captivating artwork is sure to inspire a sense of wonder and awe in all who behold it. Available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, "Weekend Sail" offers the perfect opportunity to bring a touch of maritime magic into your home.
Artist biography:
Jonathan Speed is an artist based in London
His work is inspired by the beauty and diversity of the natural environment and provides a unique interpretation of the dynamic relationship between earth, water and sky. His ability to capture the essence and drama of these elements, in particular their reaction to light, captivates the observer. Working in oil, he produces paintings full of atmosphere and a projection of vast open space. His work features landscapes set at dusk with the setting sun and brooding shadows of mountains as well as energetic seascapes of cresting waves. Jonathan excels at capturing the moment, a skill he developed from his passion for photography. He travels as often as he can to revel in unspoilt, empty landscapes and has a particular passion for depicting the genteel English countryside as well as the raw, untamed continent of Africa. Jonathan has been described as ‘a tour-de-force of controlled fine application of colour, vigorous expressionistic highlights and tonal blending’. His style is of the contemporary English tradition for highly worked canvases and draws inspiration from the works of past masters, such as Turner, Whistler and Courbet, with their skilful use of light and atmospheric qualities.

- HitchhikerLocated in Milano, MIAfter touring Europe on a motorcycle, he arrived in Berlin in 2012, where he won a residence for artists with a pictorial series on massification and nihilism. In 2014 he was invited for a residence in Colombia, and subsequently he has travelled to Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba. The experience of Central America affects his painting so much that it becomes gestural and dominated by strong and bright colors. Contact with indigenous communities contributed to the formation of his thought and poetics, which suggests accessing an irrational dimension that cannot be explored through science and technology.Category
