Jonathan Edelhuber

Jonathan Edelhuber (born 1984 in Hope, Arkansas) is a Tennessee based artist who works primarily in painting, drawing, and sculpture. He received his BFA (emphasis in graphic design) from Harding University in 2007. He has participated in group shows around the world and has been the subject of several solo shows both in the US and internationally.

His work is steeped in art history and places itself in a long lineage of artists who have created work according to formal teaching as well as the self taught. He celebrates that history and uses the cannon to bolster a new way of seeing through bold color, line and texture. While his subjects seem direct and oftentimes playful, there's a serious underlying notion. An urgency to live is seen through his handling of the materials. A pure enjoyment of art and life is grasped by his painting, scraping, adding and subtracting of color and line, and his carefully curated and composed imagery.
