Exploring form, material, and scale, Jonathan Prince’s steel and granite sculptures reflect his interest in science, spirituality, and technology. Part of The Liquid State series, Apparition investigates the relationship between geometry, materiality, and perception, in which light serves as a fluid agent and a “transformative substance capable of reconfiguring both form and perception.” Polished metal surfaces curve and refract their surroundings, softening rigid forms and creating shifting visual effects that alter the viewer’s experience of solidity and space.
At age twelve, Prince apprenticed with the French American cubist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. After working as a maxillofacial surgeon, film producer, and then founder and chairman of a media technology company, he returned to sculpture in 2002 and established an art fabrication facility in the Berkshires. His work is included in numerous institutions, such as the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, East Lansing, and the Nader Sculpture Park, Miami.
