EXPO ‘Gemma Draper’ – Galleri Hnoss, Goteborg (Suede) – 4-26 Sept. 2010

 Galleri Hnoss proudly presents Gemma Draper, jewellery artist from Barcelona. We start on friday 3rd at 17:00 with a lecture with Gemma Draper, and the opening of her exhibition

Gemma Draper playfully explores her own fascination for ideas and concepts, creating physical objects with a unique sensitivity to their own world. The philosophical approach towards her own creations adds to her expression, often commenting on the problem of interpreting something out of reality. Or, as she puts it, « When we want to illuminate reality, aren’t we imposing, precisely, a disproportion that burns it? »

Gemma was born in 1971. Among her academic merits she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Autonomous University of Barcelona and a Master of Fine Arts at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, USA, besides being a graduate from famed school Massana in Barcelona. She has previously displayed her work at solo exhibitions in Stockholm, Munich, Amsterdam, Helsinki and Barcelona. She also teaches and holds lectures across the world.

« I whish to explore the kind of objects that need the intervention of the wearer to be completed and to become ornaments for his/her body. The object asks to be defined by offering a bunch of uneven possibilities. You are invited to respond by activating your attention and bumping into strangeness and unexpected joy »
