This oil painting is dedicated to peace. The idea behind it is that if we where all United like the couple in the image we wouldn't have anymore war. While painting this I thought about people living in war zones that try and go one with every day life. The bombs in the painting come out of the ground instead of falling. They are done with cut out beermats and real military badges. The painting is mainly done in oil but has some areas painted with enamel spray. On the umbrella there is a piece badge sign.
Jonathan Grego is an anglo-italian visual Artist, based in Bordeaux who graduated in Arts in Rome. In his artwork he often deals with social subjects - such as peace, pollution, love, or the vice of the modern man - with humour, irony and provocation. He combines different techniques such as oil, acrylic and watercolour in which he integrates various types of collage. On the quest for originality he started cutting his canvases in order to insert objects like Lego, Puzzles or keys - often with a nostalgic and poetic meaning. Since 2006 he exhibits in galleries in Europe and has won several painting competitions. Passionate about street art he regularly paints large murals in Europe and Australia. His paintings are exhibited permanently in: "Espace 57" in Bordeaux, France (since 2016) Art gallery "Aurora" in Monsègur, France (since 2021) Gallery/Atelier "Partage" in Lesparre-Mèdoc, France ( since 2022) Art gallery "Isartis" in Nuremberg, Germany (since 2019) Art gallery "Ikigai Art Gallery" in Rome, Italy (since 2022)
