ABOUT THE ARTIST
New Jersey based sculptor Jerome China was born in Richmond, Virginia and is best known for his abstract metal sculptures made from rusted and discarded scrap metal, automobile gears and other industrial detritus. The pieces are a fusion of found metal, impulsive ideation and life context. At times his work is inspired by external context, and other times, by the innate story he interprets from the metal object. Jerome started his career in 2012 and received his early training as the first artist in residence at All Iron Works commercial welding and fabrication shop currently located in Hoboken, NJ. In addition, he studied with blacksmith Paul Januz at Gravity Line Forge. These residence experiences provided a balanced foundation in welding, Blacksmithing and metallurgy. He has lived in New York, Bermuda and Virginia and currently resides in Jersey City, NJ.
