Jonathan Mandell

Floral Landscape Deer 2002 (46” x 65”x 13”) 

Jonathan Mandell creates mosaics of all sizes, shapes, and colors.  He does this with great skill and therefore can recreate any form in mosaic with precision.  His works can be found around the Philadelphia area and as far away as Israel.

Portrait for the Hadassah Medical Center in
Ein Carem, Israel 2011 (48" x 36" x2") commissioned work

Mandell refers to his work as "the juncture of painting, sculpting, and drawing."  This is a perfect description because he draws with his grout lines, paints with his colorful tiles, and adds dimension with his convex/concave pieces of glass.  In viewing his extensive collection of works, it is clear that Mandell is in a league of his own. 

Nature Study VI 2012 (25" x 25" x 3") 

Mandell began experimenting with mosaic while earning his Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania.  There, he discovered that by approaching a mosaic from a fine art perspective a truly dynamic work is created.  Mandell lists Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Matisse amongst his inspirations and a modernist vibe is definitely felt in his works.
