The distinction matters. An illustration of a neuron is art about science; a sculpture whose fabrication produces a peer-reviewed materials-science result is science art. Jonty Hurwitz is a defining example of the second kind. Trained as an engineer, he makes work that has appeared both in solo exhibitions at science museums on six continents and in peer-reviewed journals including Advanced Materials, Leonardo (MIT Press) and ACM Transactions on Graphics. His nano sculptures, built by multiphoton lithography, hold a Guinness World Record and were genuine advances in micro-fabrication as well as artworks. Other artists frequently cited alongside this tradition include Leonardo da Vinci as its historical archetype and contemporary figures working with data, biology and mathematics, but few sit as squarely inside both fields as Hurwitz. ## Featured in - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, The Jungle Secret, Stainless Steel And Matte Laminated Vinyl Print On PVC Board, 2026](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-31f02cea-7421-4d77-9eb3-c95d43e60a09-compressed-1778848719046.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) The Jungle Secret 2026 ](/edition/the-jungle-secret) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, The Undressed Light, Acrylic On Canvas. , 2026](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-8327eedf-e564-442a-bfdb-371030cb8e31-compressed-1786383766720.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) The Undressed Light 2026 ](/edition/the-undressed-light) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, Dad I Can't See You Properly (La La Land), Gypsum, Sandstone, Acrylic, Stainless Steel, 2025](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-d20e9d3e-3ed4-462a-a637-22d8a5a33656-compressed-1779151786997.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) Dad I Can't See You Properly (La La Land) 2025 ](/edition/dad-i-cant-see-you-properly-la-la-land) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, Metamorphosis of Mariposa - Butterflies Hand, Gypsum, Acrylic, Ttitanium And Steel, 2024](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-2501850e-c27b-4b74-b257-ac5b6b2696b2-compressed-1779669491517.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) Metamorphosis of Mariposa - Butterflies Hand 2024 ](/edition/metamorphosis-of-mariposa-butterflies-hand) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, A Higher Perspective, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Cotton Paper & Ink, 2024](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-f3968f69-0b7d-4701-8bd5-ba8fafb42d63-compressed-1778888086595.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) A Higher Perspective 2024 ](/edition/a-higher-perspective) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, The Alchemical Leap, Stainless Steel, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-1d9b5758-aab2-4949-97fb-12cd1ee094ad-compressed-1779669454520.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) The Alchemical Leap 2023 ](/edition/the-alchemical-leap) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, Meditating Together (Yin Yang) green, Copper, Stainless Steel, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-0b3644a6-f34f-4590-a16a-53f638032c4d-compressed-1778928260103.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) Meditating Together (Yin Yang) green 2023 ](/edition/meditating-together-yin-yang-green) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, Meditating Together (Yin Yang) white, Copper, Stainless Steel, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-82562d4b-f23d-49ab-848a-5388f7db9025-compressed-1779669570060.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) Meditating Together (Yin Yang) white 2023 ](/edition/meditating-together-yin-yang-white) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, The Memory, Stainless Steel, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-7b152cc0-aec0-41b3-b567-638aa0b339c1-compressed-1780240785329.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) The Memory 2023 ](/edition/the-memory) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, Her Soul: A Tribute To Frida Kahlo, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Cotton Paper & Ink, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-d03c777d-3739-44cd-ba34-32ade1586431-compressed-1779669544534.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) Her Soul: A Tribute To Frida Kahlo 2023 ](/edition/her-soul-a-tribute-to-frida-kahlo) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, The Hiraeth Aura Screen, Screen & Stainless Steel, Videos & Composed Music To Each Video, 2023](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-476a6eec-64cb-44ec-aea6-83fd5cde6d9d-compressed-1778932861490.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) The Hiraeth Aura Screen 2023 ](/edition/the-hiraeth-aura-screen) - [ ![Jonty Hurwitz & Yifat Davidoff, D'Art Frog, Resin, Acrylic And Stainless Steel, 2022](https://fgxztnkqkimoutnckwrs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/edition-images/edition-0c6f0efd-a8e0-4402-8b37-f2f6edc38f37-compressed-1786975757670.jpg?width=600&quality=75&resize=contain) D'Art Frog 2022 ](/edition/dart-frog) [External reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_and_science) [← All concepts](/concepts) [](https://www.facebook.com/ontyhurwitzart)[](https://www.instagram.com/jontyhurwitzart/)[](https://wa.me/447469152288)
