Jonathan Wain (XX) - RAVENS (STENCILS X2) - No Reserve

RAVENS by J Wain Acrylic and spray paint on heavyweight paper. 2x Original paintings on paper. Shipped rolled in a protective tube. Signed on the front JW23 Total for both artworks 84x60cm Individual artworks 42x60cm each. Can be framed as one piece or two separate pieces. Pair of original stencil paintings, created in 2023. Two sharply executed stencil works combining a raven flying off with a bag of money. The stark black-and-white imagery and flashes of pink give the works the directness and visual punch associated with contemporary street art. There is a clear nod to the stencil tradition of artists such as Banksy, but the imagery is original to the artist. Created in 2023, these works capture an earlier, more stripped-back side of my practice: simple imagery, strong silhouettes and maximum impact with minimal means. Sold as a pair. Original works, not prints. All images showing the artwork framed are mock ups and are for illustration purposes only, the paintings are sold unframed. Based in Alicante, Jonathan Wain is an internationally collected neo-expressionist painter whose background in sculpture, holding a BA (Hons) from Manchester Metropolitan University, infuses his work with a powerful tactile presence and visual weight. Working primarily in acrylic and spray paint, Wain creates urgent, layered compositions that balance raw street-art energy with deliberate fine-art craftsmanship. His practice explores themes of the supernatural, myth, and internal conflict by translating dreams and psychological tension into a bold visual language. Canvases populated by charged motifs wolves, ghosts, flames, and serpents evoke primal narratives of survival and transformation, making his statement pieces highly sought after by collectors seeking evocative, contemporary art.
