Jon Judace
Jon is a visual artist and founder of Jon Judace Art, based in Brixton, South London. Working primarily in hand-drawn ink, his practice explores African and Caribbean culture alongside themes of science, mathematics, and nature. Much of his work is created in black and white using pointillism, a technique he is drawn to for its ability to build texture through individual marks, echoing the way atoms combine to form structure.
Through his artistic practice, Jon has exhibited in galleries and exhibitions across London and the UK. Since 2014, he has also delivered workshops for schools, community groups, and home education networks, as well as curating and contributing to community exhibitions, organising pop-up markets, and leading local creative events. Alongside his original artwork, Jon also creates and sells products featuring his designs, bringing his artwork into everyday spaces and experiences.
Across both his professional and creative work, Jon is committed to engaging, inspiring, and supporting communities and local organisations.
Jonathan has been playing the djembe, a traditional hand drum from West Africa, for over 25 years. His connection to the instrument goes far beyond technique; it is rooted in a deep respect for the cultures and communities from which it originates. Over the years, he has travelled extensively throughout several West African countries, immersing himself in the rhythms, traditions, and stories that give the music its meaning. These experiences have shaped not only his playing, but also the way he shares the art of drumming with others.
As a facilitator, Jonathan has led a wide range of workshops at community events, festivals, and schools, creating spaces where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together through rhythm. His approach is inclusive, engaging, and intuitive, encouraging participants to explore their own sense of timing, expression, and connection.
More recently, Jonathan has been working with children with special educational needs at a school in North West London. In this setting, his work has proven especially impactful. Through drumming, students are able to communicate, build confidence, and engage in a shared activity that transcends traditional barriers. His sessions provide not only musical learning, but also emotional and social development, making his contribution a valued part of the school community.
At its heart, drumming is a shared experience. It brings people together, dissolving boundaries and creating a collective energy that is both grounding and uplifting. Whether in a classroom, a community hall, or an open-air gathering, Jonathan’s work centres on this idea: that rhythm is something we all carry within us, and when we come together to express it, something powerful and deeply human emerges.
