The first time I saw John (John Richard Hewitt) working on “The Lovers” I was stunned, I may have even blushed. I felt the intimacy and connection between the figures captured in the painting. The closeness ad depth of the embrace – it all felt so real; I felt like a foyer or a child catching two people passionately embrace for the first time, in front of your parents, not knowing where to look until you realise it ok, you’re allowed.
There’s a mind bending baffling, magical quality to JRH’s work. The ease in which the lines appear to create angles and forms that are real, yet surreal, takes a certain kind of skill that not only comes from refining your craft but from harnessing an innate gift and talent for precision.
The son of a mathematician, JRH’s numbers comes to life through his art to create magic.
Providing a platform for artists is just one of the ways in which artists and creatives need support. Being in the right place a the right is a saying that is often heard when good fortune is at play however you have to give yourself the chance to be in the right place at the right time and this was one o those moments. The Chelsea fair allowed for new and exciting collaborations, opening doors to new opportunities. It’s sometimes as simple as connecting with other artists growing your network and inspiring one another. It can also help to understand your own work, see where you sit and who you sit along side, and from there, take your next steps.
