Concepts

Sculpture in which mathematical structures and transformations generate the form — realised in Jonty Hurwitz's anamorphic works, which physically enact precise geometric mappings.

The optical principle underlying Jonty Hurwitz's sculptural practice, in which a deliberately distorted image or form resolves correctly only from a privileged viewpoint.

Sculpture that uses optical illusion as its primary medium rather than as a trick — central to Jonty Hurwitz's work, where perceptual distortion is the material of the art itself.

Optical illusion is the primary medium of Jonty Hurwitz's practice — works that exploit the mechanisms of human visual perception to produce forms that transform, resolve, or exist only under specific conditions of observation.

The single precise position from which a distorted anamorphic form resolves into its intended image — the technical and conceptual fulcrum of Jonty Hurwitz's sculptures.

The philosophical and structural condition in which an artwork exists as intended only from one precise viewpoint — the conceptual core of Jonty Hurwitz's practice, making the observer a co-author of the work.

The treatment of optical illusion not as a visual trick but as the primary artistic material — the foundational approach distinguishing Jonty Hurwitz's sculpture.

Limited-edition prints, sculptures and reproductions of Jonty Hurwitz's anamorphic and optical-illusion works, available to purchase directly and by commission.

A range of paint-by-numbers kits based on Jonty Hurwitz's optical-illusion and anamorphic artworks — fine-art kits for adults, also available as science-museum shop merchandise.

Jonty Hurwitz holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest sculpture of a human form — a nano-scale figure measuring 80 × 100 × 30 micrometres, created using multiphoton lithography.

Three-dimensional sculpture engineered to resolve into a coherent, recognisable form only from a single precise viewpoint — Jonty Hurwitz's primary sculptural mode, exhibited at science museums across six continents.

The technique of resolving a distorted form through reflection in a polished cylindrical mirror — Jonty Hurwitz's signature method, in which the mirror is an inseparable part of the artwork.

The laser-based nano-fabrication technique Jonty Hurwitz uses to create the world's smallest sculptures, building three-dimensional form with sub-micron precision.

Figurative sculpture created at microscopic scale, pioneered as an art form by Jonty Hurwitz, whose nano works are invisible to the naked eye and viewable only under electron microscopy.

Jonty Hurwitz's practice of giving every artwork two parallel, equally authoritative readings — one artistic, one scientific — reflecting his dual identity as artist and scientist.

An artistic practice operating authentically within both scientific and artistic domains — exemplified by Jonty Hurwitz, whose work appears in peer-reviewed journals and solo science-museum exhibitions alike.
