Jonno Whitby
I am a self-taught artist challenging convention by fusing traditional painting techniques with modern photographic processes to create unique contemporary work. My independent approach, strengthened by a foundation in photography, drives this vision.

Transforming Lost Souls into the Centre of the Story
These paintings are the result of my years of working with street communities in cities around the world. I have been deeply moved by the resilience and strength of these individuals, and I hope that my paintings will help to shed light on their lives and experiences.
I have chosen to focus on the faces of my subjects, as I believe that they are the most expressive and revealing part of their persona. I have also used vibrant colours and bold brushstrokes to capture the energy and vitality of my subjects.
I hope that these paintings will challenge viewers to see street dwellers in a new light. They are not just statistics or problems to be solved. They are human beings with stories to tell and lives to live. I hope that my paintings will help to humanise street dwellers and make them more visible in our society.
