Named for the meditation bell, this work captures the liminal space between stillness and transformation.
Created in Procreate, this work draws on Jonathan Herbert's pioneering contributions to digital art—work that has been the subject of university lectures and industry recognition since the 1990s.
Printed on aluminum using dye sublimation process for museum-quality color permanence and dimensional depth. The metal surface creates luminosity and color saturation impossible to achieve on paper.
Technical specifications: Aluminum panel with inset Sintra backing and metal mounting brackets. The print sits 0.5" off the wall, creating a floating appearance with elegant shadow lines. Artist signature is dye-sublimated directly onto the aluminum reverse. Ready to hang—no framing required or recommended.
These architectural-grade prints are waterproof and heat-resistant, making them perfect for outdoor kitchens, spaces above fireplaces, humid environments, or high-traffic commercial installations.
Herbert's work is held in The Kinsey Institute Museum, The Paley Center for Media, and Silicon Graphics Permanent Collection. He spoke at SIGGRAPH in 1992 and has exhibited since the 1970s.
Also available in: Large Aluminum (48" × 80")
Each aluminum print is numbered and signed by the artist. Certificate of authenticity included.

Jonathan Herbert’s work is a 53-year, sustained investigation into transformation, pursued by any means necessary. His polymathic practice—painting, photography, digital innovation—is a single thread, each discipline informing the others, each obstacle transformed into a creative catalyst.
Forged in 1970s NYC: A major figure in the downtown scene, creating experimental Color Xerox art alongside Cindy Sherman, tagging subways with Jean-Michel Basquiat, and earning the encouragement of photographer Robert Frank.
Pioneer of the Digital Age: Finding he could not paint sober, he became one of the earliest digital art pioneers in 1984. He was sponsored by Silicon Graphics, spoke at SIGGRAPH '92, and mentored a generation of artists who went on to Pixar and Blue Sky Studios.
Alchemist of Trauma: His work unflinchingly documents a life of extreme adversity, including the harrowing Kaddish series, created as his wife was dying of cancer; the Etz Hayim series, drawn during his own toxic chemotherapy; and his current atmospheric abstractions, developed after a traumatic brain injury forced him to invent a new way to paint.
Held in Esteemed Collections: His work is held by The Kinsey Institute, The Paley Center for Media, Pfizer Inc., and the Silicon Graphics Permanent Collection, validating his contribution to both art and science.
Not Dead Yet: Despite severe, progressive cognitive impairment from his injuries, Herbert completed 104 paintings in 2024 alone, a testament to a creative drive that refuses to be extinguished.
