About this artwork
I was commissioned by the Australian National Veterans Art Museum (ANVAM) to produce a work representative of my wartime experience for their 2019 March to Art exhibition which will feature Guy Warren. The work now forms part of the permanent collection.
Generally, the motifs of the picture can mean many things and a lot of its meaning are hidden to me and have been dragged to the surface from deep within my subconscious. I think the blue represents… the sea/sky interface and my view of the world. The white ground can be interpreted as the skein of reality where everything takes place, or the noise behind my eyes - my psyche, with its nonsense, irrationality and fears. I find that the older I get the more afraid I become - of people mostly - and in my war experience I felt alone and inconsequential both as an Australian sailor but as a human being more generally - for me there was no acceptance, no mateship, no camaraderie. I was an outsider, an observer along for the ride.

« I'm not confined by a singular style or motif, I explore possibilities in painting and believe the act of creation is greater than what is created. It represents me at the deepest level. »
One of the key themes in Jonathon Telcher's works is existence, represented by an overarching idea rather than literal. The act of painting is of the utmost importance for the Australian painter, as he believes that the image is the residual imprint of the artist 'left to travel through time and space'. He describes his works as immediate, raw, and a record of his existence.
