Biography
Jan Wold (b. 1979) is a Brazilian-Norwegian artist of Japanese heritage whose practice is a sustained meditation on time, impermanence, and transformation. Working across sculpture, installation, and photography, he explores how materials unfold, erode, and recombine—not simply as alchemical processes, but as reflections on the lived experience of duration. Each work functions as a temporal event, a site where matter and perception converge, revealing time's passage through condensation, sedimentation, and dissolution.
His practice resonates with Japanese aesthetics of and —the quiet awareness of transience and the beauty of imperfection—while also engaging with philosophical notions of “thingness," situating objects as temporal presences rather than static forms.
Wold's cross-disciplinary background informs this approach: he holds a BFA and MFA in Fine Art from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHIO), a BFA in Communication for Graphic Design from Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and has studied Theatre at CAL and Drawing and Painting at EAV Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Felleshus, Nordic Embassies (Berlin); Museum Angewandte Kunst (Frankfurt); RAM Galleri (Oslo); Pinakothek der Moderne (Munich); and Norsk Billedhoggerforening (Oslo). Wold's works are held in the collections of KODE Museum (Bergen), Pinakothek der Modern (Munich), KPMG Headquarters (London).
