Jason Arkles is an American sculptor, art historian, podcaster and author living in Florence, Italy. Beginning his training as a sculptor in 1996 at the Charles H. Cecil Studio in Florence, Arkles soon began to teach in the sculpture department there, notably heading up the experimental sculpture program initiated by Cecil, which sought to revive a sculptural method based on optical and geometric processes (in painting, known as Sight-Size), once used in the ateliers of sculptors in 19th century Paris, but since the 20th century known only as a technique for painters and draftsmen.
