Jonathan Wain - Pfizer Labs Missing Ingredients / Bat - No Reserve

Jonathan Wain – Pfizer labs missing ingredients - Bat (2022)

A powerful, highly-textured original contemporary mixed-media artwork by artist Jonathan Wain, titled "Pfizer labs missing ingredients - Bat".

Dating from 2022, this compelling 40 x 50 cm canvas beautifully expands on Wain's signature fusion of urban street art, sharp commentary, and expressive abstract painting. This piece features a striking palette shift, utilizing cool turquoise, sea green, pink, and white acrylic impasto built up into a deeply textured, distressed background.

The composition layers distinct stencilled graphics: a beautifully rendered monochrome mythical hippocampus figure floating at the top, balanced by a bold, stylized black bat silhouette at the centre. Intersecting the figures is the artist's iconic, raw block typography reading "PFIZER" in vivid yellow and "WHAT A BARGAIN" in piercing neon red. A brilliant piece of contemporary pop-art that commands attention.

Jonathan Wain is a contemporary British artist based in Spain whose work combines influences from street art, graffiti, pop art and abstract expressionism. Originally trained in Fine Art Sculpture at Manchester Metropolitan University between 1993 and 1996, he later turned his focus to painting, developing a distinctive visual language rooted in layered imagery and expressive mark-making.

Working primarily with acrylic and spray paint, Wain creates vivid, multi-layered compositions that often explore themes of myth, memory, conflict and transformation. His paintings blend spontaneous gesture with symbolic imagery, producing works that feel both playful and psychologically charged.
