Jonni Cheatwood is a Los Angeles based painter who mixes oil, oil sticks, acrylics and textile in his works. As a self-taught artist, Cheatwood's process is one of experimentation and steady evolution over time. It is a dynamic undertaking that spans mediums and aesthetics, creating textured and colour-filled pieces that greet the viewer head-on, ready to engage in conversation. Cheatwood's works evoke a warm, nostalgic sensation like browsing through one's family book photographs, and although the people depicted in his works aren't specifically always based on his own relatives or friends, the works are still about people he can relate to. Cheatwood has exhibited extensively both domestically in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and New York, as well as internationally in London, Finland, Shanghai, Seoul, Berlin, Hong Kong, Beirut and Australia
