Enjoy this interview with Jonathan Wahl on the ArtJewelryForum website and blog about his exhibition at PULSE Contemporary Art Fair this past March.
“Beauty is an old-fashioned concept and an eternal one. I don’t think we will ever escape the allure and need for beauty although what we consider beautiful shifts with each age. For me, beauty is very important. I am seduced by beautiful things and I do want to make beautiful things. Allure and seduction are powerful. The drawings are based on gems, which sparkle like eyes, the seat of seduction. So that look, that flash of seduction, attraction to a person, sparkle of a stone or shimmer on an eye is part of this work. It’s no wonder we give gemstones as a sign of our love and fidelity. And seduction from another person I hope will never become old-fashioned.”
