Jonathan Freemantle 

‘Timing is everything, size is everything, context is everything, everything is political, everything is emotional, art is life, life is art. Somewhere at the intersection of these tangents you will find, I promise you, Jonathan Freemantle’s paintings in Breathing Spaces. ‘ - Valerie Kabov 2020
