ArtWay - “Giving identity to forms” – an interview with Márta Jakobovits

My latest interview for ArtWay is with ceramic artist Márta Jakobovits:

"I gravitate toward deep, intuitive approaches that bring visual and mental peace. I believe everyone’s life is a pilgrimage, a journey full of ups and downs. Artists have the ability to translate that journey, making it visible, audible, or readable, depending on their medium."

For more on Márta Jakobovits see here and here. A solo exhibition by Márta Jakobovits, in collaboration with Elizabeth Xi Bauer Gallery, is at The Liszt Institute (17-19 Cockspur Street, London SW1Y 5BL) from 2 May - 30 May 2025.

My other writing for ArtWay can be found at https://www.artway.eu/authors/jonathan-evens. This includes church reports, interviews, reviews and visual meditations.

ArtWay.eu has been hailed "a jewel in the crown of work in Christianity and the arts," and having come under the custodianship of the Kirby Laing Centre, the much-loved publication has entered an exciting new chapter in its story following the launch of a new website in September 2024.

Since its founding, ArtWay has published a rich library of materials and resources for scholars, artists, art enthusiasts and congregations concerned about linking art and faith. Founded by Marleen Hengelaar-Rookmaaker in 2009, ArtWay's significance is reflected in its designation as UNESCO digital heritage material in the Netherlands.

In 2018, I interviewed ArtWay founder Marleen Hengelaar-Rookmaaker for Artlyst on the legacy of ArtWay itself.



In the video above, the ArtWay team recounts the history of this much-loved resource and looks ahead to an exciting future for ArtWay.

'"Jakobovits adopts a meditative and prayerful approach to creation and displays her work in ways that encourage contemplation in the viewer."'
