Lizard
April 22nd, 2012A couple of days ago at the Four Seasons Maui I was asked to catch a lizard for a photo. This questions stirred up something deep. Back in Austria, when I was maybe eight years old, I went to a river with two friends and one of them caught a lizard, rammed a stick through its torso and put it on a little wooden raft to go down the river. It was incredibly cruel to me at the time but I got over it (or maybe not…). Now, 22 years later and thousands of miles detached, upon that question the event popped back into my mind and I felt horribly wrong even scaring a lizard. I couldn’t stop thinking about that lizard since and played with all kinds of drawings of lizards until this ended up on the wall of my hotel room at the Four Seasons Lanai… I should install a camera to get the expression on the maid’s face upon entering the room…

March 27th, 2012I guess I just combined my “Straight from the Minibar” series and my work with Negative Stability. This took about an hour and seemed impossible for most of that hour. Stood for a good 15 seconds.

Permanent Negative Stability – This Thursday
August 28th, 2011permanent Negative Stability is opening this Thursday at Viva Design! I have been working on this concept and the challenges that come with creating these sculptures for a a few years and I am very excited to exhibit these pieces now. The concept of balance has been driving my thoughts for a while and the work presented in this show is a strong statement about that. I would love to see you at the opening…
permanent Negative Stability
Captivated by the concept of balance, Jonas Jungblut moves from his photographic visualization of the concept to interpreting balance on a three-dimensional level.
Building on his series “Silent Messengers”, temporarily balanced stones, and a deep appreciation for the material stone, Jungblut created these sculptures to narrate his belief in tangible objects, persistence and the necessity for balance.
We’d love to have you at the Artist’s reception of Jonas Jungblut’s work: permanent Negative Stability.
Wine and refreshments will be served.
