Artist Statement
Lumen is a piece inspired by the magic of our oceans and the amazing creatures that live in them. Jellyfish are ethereal lifeforms that add to the majesty of our ocean's biodiversity. As this jellyfish swims in the great blue, it transforms into smoke as a reminder that so many creatures are facing extinction and disappearing before our eyes. It is within our efforts to change our relationship with the natural world to save so many magical lifeforms that make our planet the wonder that it is.

Artist Bio
Jon Ching grew up steeped in natural beauty on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i, which formed the foundation of his deep fascination with the natural and wild world. A self-taught painter, Jon’s devoted art practice and detailed realism is inspired by the interconnectedness of nature. While dedicated to the minute idiosyncrasies of flora and fauna, Jon’s work is a surreal imagining of what limitless wonders and combinations nature can produce. New creatures and symbioses emerge in his meticulously rendered oil paintings, exemplifying the endless potential of life on Earth. His work is often driven by his personal desire to find a balance between the human and natural worlds, exploring themes of symbiosis and searching for connections, physical and metaphorical, across nature’s kingdoms. Highlighting man-made threats to the natural world is a regular theme in his work to raise awareness of and evoke compassion for the kingdoms of life. Jon’s ultimate hope is to inspire love and admiration for the universally unique beauty and intrigue of our world.
