Artist Profile: Jonathan Westfield
Overview
Jonathan Westfield is a New Jersey-born painter and silkscreen artist whose work explores repetition, transformation, and the cyclical nature of progress. With a background in design from Lehigh University and Parsons School of Design, Westfield blends abstraction and introspection through rhythmic patterns and layered textures that mirror the complexities of personal and societal evolution.
His work investigates the tension between movement and stagnation, offering visual narratives that suggest healing and upheaval occur in tandem. In Nothing is the Same, Westfield employs acrylic on paper to construct a surface that feels simultaneously in motion and suspended in time. The composition challenges the idea of linear growth, instead suggesting that transformation is a loop—unresolved, unending, and deeply human.
