Jonathan Yeo is one of the most highly regarded and innovative portrait painters working in Britain
(or, indeed, anywhere) today… Renowned for his distinctive, highly figurative canvases and striking collages, he employs a range of media and techniques to create a diverse body of work that expands the traditional parameters of portraiture. His ongoing innovations in theme and narrative and his engagement with society continue to challenge the genre of portraiture and reinvigorate it for the present era. Said Dr Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, 2016
Yeo taught himself to paint in his twenties . In the early 2000s, he became known for his contemporary realist portraits of well-known figures.
