Jonathan Vervoort
From January 9, 2026, LAID BUG will host a solo exhibition by Jonathan Vervoort.
Based in Amsterdam, Jonathan Vervoort is an artist who creates works while moving between digital experimentation and material traditions. He explores how digital interventions transform the identity of materials, producing hybrid works where natural objects, historical materials, and digital processes intersect. His practice employs 3D-printed porcelain, 3D modeling, and 3D scans of natural elements such as grass, moss, leaves, and branches. In 2022, he held a solo exhibition at Base-Alpha Gallery (Antwerp, Belgium) and has participated in various group exhibitions, mainly in the Netherlands.
For this exhibition, Jonathan presents porcelain ceramics created during his residency at the Saga Ceramics Research Laboratory in Arita, Saga Prefecture. Natural objects collected from various locations in Kyushu were 3D-scanned, and the resulting digital data was transferred onto porcelain using glaze transfer techniques. By applying different “digital skins” to porcelain of the same shape, he confronted the question of how the “soul” of Arita ware—the first porcelain ever made in Japan—changes when digital intervention is introduced.
Jonathan’s experimental process invites viewers into an unpredictable experience where myth, memory, and technology intertwine, offering new perspectives on the relationship between humanity and the digital world. We sincerely invite you to take this opportunity to view his work.
