ARTIST STATEMENT: -
Jonathan Baldock makes theatrical and darkly humorous objects and paintings, which are often influenced by traditions of folklore and ritual. At times sinister and unattractive, and at others socially scathing, Baldock's paintings and sculptures looks at the nature of beauty, celebrity and social perceptions of what art should be.
