Artist Spotlight

Hemeroscopium by Jonathon Morgan 2024 sculpture · Art Around the Corner Foundation

Meet Jonathan Morgan

Jonathan Morgan’s art is about bringing awareness to the human condition. He believes that often, we misinterpret the world because we rely too much on our eyes, neglecting the other senses. This is particularly true in how we view and interpret art. By relying too much on our eyes, we can miss the full sensory experience of what a work of art offers to the mind and the heart. Ultimately, what informs his art is the ardent belief that life is richer when we orient away from ourselves and focus on others. When we connect with and learn from each other, we finally see the grandeur of the world with eyes wide open.
