Jonathan Prince, an artist whose sculptural work intricately weaves together the realms of science, technology, and spirituality, has established himself as a significant figure in the contemporary art world. Born in New York City, Prince has spent the last two decades living and working in The Berkshires of Massachusetts, where his fascination with sculpture began at a young age, notably influenced by his encounters with cubist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. Despite initially pursuing a career as a maxillofacial surgeon, Prince’s enduring passion for sculpture led him to rekindle his artistic pursuits in 2002, culminating in the creation of a world-class fabrication facility in The Berkshires.

Prince’s sculptural practice is characterized by a profound exploration of material and form, where the tension between precision and imperfection mirrors the dualities inherent in life. His works, often monumental in scale, are not only visually striking but also imbued with a sense of inquiry and introspection, inviting viewers to reflect on the complex interplay between vulnerability and strength, chaos and beauty.

Prince’s sculptures, which find their place in both private and public collections worldwide, stand as testaments to his mastery of form and his profound engagement with the materials he shapes.
