Galerie Slavik’s international jewellery artists
Exhibition period: 10 Nov. 2009 – 30 Jan. 2010

Galerie Slavik invites you most cordially on this year’s Winter Journey, our annual review of contemporary jewellery art.

The most recent works by David Watkins, a well-known British jewellery artist and professor at the Royal College of Art in London, were inspired by nature. Watkins, fascinated by the possibilities of modern materials such as acrylic, paper and aluminium, revolutionised contemporary jewellery art in the 1960s by introducing new materials to complement traditional gold and silver.

The Italian jewellery artist Barbara Paganin, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, is well known among the gallery’s regular visitors. She presents enchanting creations for our Winter Journey, among them a radiant brooch made of elements of ice-blue Murano glass with diamonds glistening from their midst.

Per Suntum, an acclaimed Danish artist, exhibits a selection of his works at Galerie Slavik for the first time. The artist mounts perforated surfaces of gold and silver on metal plates. The surface of his light and dark silver brooches is reminiscent of the full moon on a clear winter night.

Stefano Marchetti tessellates gold and silver foil into brooches of timeless elegance. Annamaria Zanella presents recent works made of gold, silver and pigments. Her pieces, like Renzo Pasquale’s latest creations, are a highlight of our Winter Journey.
