Tanel VEENRE, a BLACK ENVY ……….
« A beautiful piece of jewellery is exciting. Excitement is a quality that comes into being upon collapse of the quantifiable and measurable into the inexplicable and personal. Fleeing from gold-edged emptiness binds the artist’s soul with the thing being created. It’s all somehow wordlessly conspiratorial. Artist and jewellery become witnesses to a crime in which they are both complicit.
Anxiety may contain embarrassment and brazenness, mockery levelled at the opinion of the court.
A talented jeweller says: The quality of the jewel is in its intellectuality. For an artist the jewel is something very personal through which he can express his concerns, feelings, ideas.
Veenre likes to combine metal with such a natural details like rope or coal (back to the Stone Age?). He makes historical collars out of shining fish-scales, which he strings together with little glass beads. As a result his work looks very fine with its dynamics, femininity and grace. It is experimental and theatrical, there is a fine sense of drama inside.«
