Jonathan Ralston - Toledo Native
Every oil painting that I create depicts a real place, most of which I have personally visited. I prefer to stand in the environment myself. It gives me the mood of a space, which I can then capture in my paintings. The Dutch masters, particularly Rembrandt, have influenced my approach to color and light.
I have visited and painted many places over and over again. When the light changes, the mood and energy also change. I especially love the monolithic scale and grandeur that large gothic and Romanesque structures convey.
Exploring our relationship to our architectural surroundings. I look for interesting perspectives, that for me, define the whole space. I try and distill the space down to its emotional/visual/intellectual/spiritual core. For me the repetition of architectural elements and its intersection with light and material are endlessly fascinating.
