Jon Davenport - Artist Jon Davenport, a UK-born artist, crafts thought-provoking mixed media works that deconstruct iconic imagery through a refined and deeply personal lens.

Drawing on his extensive background in advertising and a strong appreciation for Americana From biology student, to owning and running a creative agency in London, life has taken Jon on a rewarding and unconventional journey. Despite his scientific beginnings, he’s always had a strong artistic streak weaving it’s way through the different career paths. Growing up in Ipswich, UK, Jon was always an

avid drawer and could always be found with a pencil and paper in hand, but with his first computer, he embraced the new frontier of digital art and had work published in one of those early computer magazines, the stage was set! His creative urges took a backseat to a getting a biology degree at Brunel University in London, but it was afterwards, in his first job was working at Archant newspaper group in Ipswich, he quickly progressed from plate maker to becoming an integral member of the art studio. It was during this time, he taught himself photoshop, desktop publishing, graphic & web design. After a few years he setup a design agency, which he eventually went full time on with a few colleagues, and moved it up to London. This proved to be a pretty successful move, working for a number of clients such as Nike and Virgin, getting positive comments from Richard Branson, and even Tony Blair.It wasn’t until Jon moved to the USA to marry his wife, a professional artist ironically from the south herself, that he began indulging his pure creative urges, with her constant encouragement. Thanks to all the previous twists and turns as well as embracing a new found love for photography and the paintbrush, it was only now that he could truly create art he was proud of.

XOXO 48x48 painting

A close-up that captures the timeless allure of mid-century style, this latest piece draws inspiration from vintage mid-century fashion photography, reimagined in a bold, modern abstraction. The model’s sunglasses and red lips radiate classic elegance, while blocks of vintage advertising logos and nostalgic magazine textures interweave throughout the composition. Vibrant overlays of teal and golden yellow add fresh energy, while spray paint accents and layered textures deepen the narrative, pulling viewers into a world where retro glamour meets contemporary edge. A study in sophistication and contrast, it’s an invitation to explore the past reimagined for today.
