Jonas Van Bockhaven is a multi disciplinary artist based in Brussels, Belgium.
A background as a scientist, and a passion for art & art history drive his multi-disciplinary artistic practices (e.g. wax, ceramics, glass, and wood).
Jonas is influenced by architecture, beauty in science, geology, ancient jewellery, fragility, order & chaos, and queer life.
His sculptures—often monochromatic and minimalist—often use light as an inspiration or as a medium.
The recent ‘Crystalline’ series is inspired by the way atoms and molecules in solid matter are arranged in space, the study of which is called crystallography. This science is essential in linking chemical and physical properties of different materials and has many applications in fields like medicine, materials science etc.
The series of works consist of monochromatic minimal wax shapes, intersected by a network of connected negative spherical spaces that are arranged like atoms are in solid matter, in arranged formations or in random chaos.
The interplay between light and the porous sculptures offer subtle colour differences and a multitude of perspectives that captivate its viewers.
