Novelist, Will Self has described Jon Wealleans as a “fine and honest artist (who) paints the way he does because he knows how intrinsic to his own creative process is the concept of ordered chaos: a seemingly random agglomeration of objects, that yet contain within their interrelation, the lineaments of the mind that assembled them”. Born in Yorkshire, and raised in Bournemouth, he forged a notable architectural career in the 1960s, before eventually taking the plunge to pursue his love of art. In this fascinating chat, he discusses the motivations behind his highly original, bright, primary, pop-like style and a life-long love of horror movies, which has inspired his new graphic novel – Frankenstein’s Dog.
