Johnathan Schultz (born 23 April 1982) is an artist specialising in precious metals and gemstones.
He is defining the future of art, by creating iconic works of art in precious metals and gemstones that communicate the cultural zeitgeist of our times. He is the new iconoclast who rebels against the conforms of the current art establishment to uncover new dimensions and emotions that stir the soul. At the heart of Schultz’s work is our elemental connection to the earth’s precious materials – exploring our responses, relationships and boundaries.[1] [2]

Exhibitions[edit]
Le Art Noir, Diversity in Color, Art Basel Miami Beach (Dec 2021)[edit]
‘Out of the Darkness’ opened at a VIP preview event attended by over 500 attendees from the art and local community at the African Heritage Cultural Center in the less visited area of Liberty City, Miami. On show for the first time were one-of-a-kind cultural iconography from around the world combined with diamonds, including a fingerprint containing over 9,000 diamonds and a 10ft multi-tiered diamond pendant chandelier constructed from a section of high security fencing from Robben Island, South Africa.
Schultz also donated a multi-layered gold basketball piece to event sponsors Hennessy for their ‘Unfinished Business’ initiative, which went on display within the sponsor lounge throughout the four-day exhibition.
With over 100 diamond and precious metal art pieces on show within the three gallery spaces, the exhibits included two of the largest diamond art pieces created in the 21st Century – the ‘Out of the Darkness’ Diamond Fingerprint and ‘Refraction of a Legacy’ Diamond Chandelier. [4] [5] [6] [7]
Works[edit]
‘Out of the Darkness’ Diamond fingerprint === Taken from the exhibition title, ‘Out of the Darkness’ is derived from Nelson Mandela’s fingerprints. This art piece is made up of 9,225 diamonds set in 18 carat white gold coming in at 895 carats. The Round Brilliant cut stones are Color G/H and Clarity VS plus, creating an alternative perspective on the legacy and story of South Africa’s first democratically elected President.[8]
‘Refraction of a Legacy’ Diamond Chandelier[edit]
‘Refraction of a Legacy’ is constructed from metal fencing recovered from Robben Island, the maximum-security prison used in the Apartheid years and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The chandelier stands at 10ft tall, comprising five circular layers with cascades of diamonds. The diamonds themselves represent the hope and light we have in ourselves, with the structure signifying light breaking through the fence that once imprisoned others.
Schultz is also known for his ‘Infinity Series’, crafting abstract three-dimensional pieces with multiple layers of precious metals such as gold or platinum. Schultz featured this series of work at the 2021 OSCARS© official gifting suite creating custom handprints for nominees.
GEM Set[edit]
GEM is a customizable, generative NFT collectible conceived and designed by Johnathan Schultz. GEM is a digital representation of the heart of the Johnathan Schultz design; a relic created for the metaverse that represents the undeniable value of a precious resource to the communities that have a stake in them. Like diamonds and gold, GEM holds the power of intrigue, shine and an unspeakable value that is meant to last through time.
Frozen with Desire[edit]
‘Frozen with Desire’ is a collaboration with Brendan Murphy and his ‘Boonji Spaceman’ series. The 42-inch sculpture features 517-carats of diamonds and at the time of creation stood as the world’s second most diamond-intensive artworks. Differentiated by its remarkable diamond count, ‘Frozen with Desire’ is made up of 6,200 responsibly-sourced D to H diamonds with VS plus clarity, set in a 1,809-gram platinum cast.[9] 'Frozen with Desire' was on display in The Vault, Saks Fifth Avenue from November 2021 - January 2022.
