BOOK LAUNCH & OPENING ART EXHIBITION: Saturday 13 September from 2 - 7pm
The concept for the 'Art to Life' series was conceived during the lockdown period of 2020, when art exhibitions were postponed. I decided to write a children's adventure story centred around the characters in my paintings coming to life, with the aim of reigniting the creative spark within our youth, which could have easily been lost during the lockdown.
The goal was to spread positivity and joy, capturing the imagination of children and providing inspiration, reminding them that anything is possible and dreams can come true. Through the 'Art to Life' stories, readers will embark on an adventure full of fantasy, mischief, excitement, and education in a world of endless possibilities, for the entire family to enjoy together.
About Jonas Stout
I followed the path that I wanted, to nurture my love for art, and I studied at the University of East London’s School of Arts, Hoxton. I then completed a course in carpentry and joinery, as this enabled me to learn to make frames and how to handle wood. All of my pieces are created from Film and TV scenery. With a diverse range of styles in my work, they cannot be placed into one definitive box as it encompasses mixed media, canvas and sculptured wood. My inventory contains pieces that are not only a sensory experience but visionary too, creating a wonderful mix of Modern Art
