Sublime

The Sublime series reflects Jonathan Prince’s enduring engagement with the notion of transcendence and the complex relationship between the terrestrial and the celestial. Drawing on the rich cultural and philosophical history of the sublime, these works explore the spaces where human experience encounters the vast, the immeasurable, and the otherworldly.

Prince considers the sublime not merely as an aesthetic category, but as a threshold between earthly materiality and metaphysical possibility. Through form, surface, and spatial intervention, the series evokes moments of heightened perception, instances in which the boundaries between “heaven” and earth appear permeable. In doing so, Sublimesituates itself within a long artistic lineage concerned with awe, transcendence, and the search for meaning beyond the visible world.
