JAHAN GERRARD

(b. 1958 Ashgabat, USSR)

Jahan Gerrard is a contemporary painter based in the UK. She creates paintings in response to colour and surfaces, with an attempt to capture the moment and emotion, drawing inspirations from the internal and the external world and on references as broad as from Baroque to Abstract Expressionist art.

Jahan incorporates the use of line and manipulation of colour, which she applies aggressively and in vividly contrasting combinations to her paintings. Jahan has exhibited in several group shows in the UK, France, Spain, and USA. She was included in the John Moores Painting Prize in 2018. Her recent show was held at The Other Art Fair at The Old Truman Brewery in London, 2021.
