Jonathan Armour is a trans-media artist who is fascinated by the human body, the person within and the skin which mediates between us. His practice which revolves around instinctive exploration and scientific experimentation often touches upon age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and body adjustments. Born in Coleraine (NI), a first degree in engineering steered his early career into IT and business, but life-events provoked a Foundation Course in Art in 2012-3 which led straight to an MA in Fine Art from 2013-15, marking the birth of his creative career.
Armour often works collaboratively with his subjects to explore aspects of them which usually confront aspects of himself. Invoking a range of media across drawing and oil painting, digitisation, direct body work to time-based digital work, he brings an off-piste approach to examining the human condition. His work has been exhibited widely in the UK, Europe, Australia and USA.
