Title

The art of Jonty Hurwitz

Description

The Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan has a large collection of Leonardo da Vinci's notes. On folio 35 verso a of the Codex Atlanticus, are two strangely elongated sketches of a child's head and an eye. These distorted and hesitant drawings, the first known anamorphoses c.1485, are the seeds of my inspiration for Binge Thinking.

Leonardo pushed the boundaries of his time by exploring in a non-figurative way how the observer's perception is implicitly linked to the observation itself. Binge Thinking is a collection of art works uses the Leonardo's theories as a starting point.

All the works, created by Jonty Hurwitz study the physics of how we perceive space. Each piece is the stroke of over 1 billion calculations and draws upon a upon a unique way in which our brains interpret the spacial information they receive.
