In Jayson's figurative paintings and exotic vistas, natural motifs interact with urban environments. While striking this balance, Jayson also endeavours to provide relevance to his own heritage.

One way he likes to explore this notion, is to render natural forms with coloured sand, in combination with painted environments or portraits. Initially conceived by travelling around India, to research more into his own roots, the coloured sand references ephemeral Rangoli patterns: something the Artist witnessed first hand inside Hindu Temples.

After many experiments and technical discoveries, Jayson has managed to combine 2 very different visual languages within his artwork. Oil paint manipulation becomes Jayson's preferred means of making sense of the observed World. The appearance of coloured sand serves as a metaphorical reminder of Jayson's roots, though behaving like fading sand, is now given permanent relevance in his Art.

This year, the artist has made a brief trip to his father’s Native country of Malaysia. Using the Batik designs he has admired and created there, Jayson is seeking to re-imagine the Wandsworth Celtic Shield, in order to create a more appropriate reflection of his heritage. Expect to find some design iterations making an active painterly appearance.
