Jonathan Freemantle Mixed Media

South African, b. 1978
Born: 1978 Cape Town, South Africa. Lives and works: Edinburgh, Scotland. At 17, Freemantle was selected as one of five students from around the world to study at St Oswald’s Academy in London, where he completed an intensive, five-year apprenticeship in traditional drawing, painting, sculpture and geometry. These principles continue to inform his rigorous approach to painting and art practice. Founded on an intimate understanding of painting and art history, his work explores the relationship between his body, time and the earth, each of which serve as materials and as inspiration. Using a variety of media including egg tempera, mountain rocks and ochre in his paintings, he situates the body as an organic presence at one with the landscape, at the same time integrating the landscape physically in the human act of painting. In an age damned as Anthropocene, Freemantle uses his passionate and visceral canvases to consciously and resolutely make the case for redemption and forgiveness of the human – and as a male, of the man – on the planet. Freemantle has been exhibiting internationally since 2007, with group and solo exhibitions in London, Cape Town, Amsterdam, Johannesburg and Edinburgh, including a major commission by The Standard Bank Gallery, Johannesburg. In addition to an expansive studio practice, Freemantle has been working as an educator, in 2002 setting up the painting department of The Art Academy in London and writing ‘Anatomy made simple for Artists’ published by Arcturus (UK) in 2004. He has also curated numerous exhibitions in the context of Edinburgh International Fashion Festival, which he co-founded in 2012, and as co-director of Hazard Gallery, which he co-founded and ran in Johannesburg from 2015 to 2019. Having returned to Edinburgh in 2019, Freemantle has focused on full time studio practice. His work is represented in collections worldwide including SAB Miller, Nirox Foundation and the private collection of HRH King Charles III.

Coral Reef from Above Heavy Texture Ocean Abstract

By Olga Nikitina

Located in Zofingen, AG

This original mixed media painting by Olga Nikitina is inspired by coral reefs, underwater landscapes, and the textures of the ocean floor. The artwork is created using oil paint combined with texture paste, sand, and small stones, forming a highly textured sculptural surface that resembles natural coral formations and marine structures. Using a palette knife and mixed media materials, the artist built multiple layers of texture, creating depth and movement across the surface. Rich tones of turquoise, deep blue, emerald green, and warm coral colors evoke the feeling of looking at a coral reef from above, like an aerial ocean landscape, or exploring the reef underwater. The combination of oil paint with natural materials such as sand and stones gives the painting a raw, organic quality and a strong three-dimensional presence. Light interacts beautifully with the textured surface, constantly changing the appearance of the artwork throughout the day. This painting is part of Olga Nikitina’s ocean-inspired body of work, influenced by marine environments and underwater exploration. The work sits between abstract painting and aerial landscape, making it suitable for contemporary, coastal, modern, or minimalist interiors. The artwork is created on stretched canvas and is ready to hang.
