Ever since he was a kid, Emmanuel Jonckers, a Belgian creator, has lived in the world of Artist Furniture. Both his parents were art furniture designers. In his soberly and sensually curved pieces, the artist makes inclusions of noble metals and alloys. « My aquatint engravements represent the structured anarchy of elements, like open doors on organic and mineral. They are a projection of our universe’s reflexion ».
The material shaped by nature sensually mingles with the material human chemistry has shaped. Emmanuel Jonckers has this philosophical mindset about how voluptuous elements can be. Organic or mineral, they are related by what they are composed of carbon. « I am fascinated by the Infinitely Great and the infinitely small, by organic and mineral, worlds that have no limits but those of imagination. I am fascinated by science, and the human capacity to read it and to understand it as he is beginning to do, by space and time, by quantum mechanics… ».
Emmanuel Jonckers is represented in Beirut by "Galerie Pierre Ghattas".
