« Élégant, calme, dynamique, d’une puissance contrôlée et serein, ces termes et expressions ont été à maintes reprises employées pour décrire l’exceptionnel travail de Kye-Yeon Son. » - Susan Hanrahan, directrice exécutive, Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council.

L’exposition intitulée Nature’s Breath est composée de sculptures et de bijoux fabriqués en argent, en cuivre et/ou acier émaillé. Une cinquantaine d’œuvres nouvelles de l’artiste orneront les murs et les vitrines de la galerie Noel Guyomarc’h du 20 mars au 12 avril 2015.
Née en Corée du Sud, après avoir obtenu un baccalauréat en beaux-arts à Séoul, puis une maitrise à l’Université d’Indiana, Bloomington, Kye-Yeon Son s’oriente finalement vers la joaillerie et l’orfèvrerie. Intéressée par la matière qu’est le métal, elle veut le comprendre, le manipuler, le forger et connaître ses composantes. Lois Etherington Betteridge, orfèvre Canadienne reconnue, deviendra son mentor lors de son passage de quelques années à Montréal, avant d’être invitée par Pamela Ritchie, professeur et responsable de la division Métiers des métiers d’art à la NSCAD University à enseigner. 20 ans plus tard, elle enseigne toujours avec enthousiasme et dévouement sa passion. Kye-Yeon Son est récipiendaire du Prix Saidye Bronfman, un des prestigieux prix du Gouverneur Général en arts visuels et en arts médiatiques.
 « Les caractéristiques physiques inhérentes de fil d’acier fin me permettent d’explorer diverses structures délicates agissant réciproquement sur les espaces positifs et négatifs tout en créant du volume, des textures, de l’espace, de la couleur et de l’ombre dans mes œuvres.«  Kye-Yeon Son.
Le corpus de travail présenté à la galerie rassemble des sculptures et des broches construites à partir de fils métalliques, principalement de l’acier, que l’artiste soude méticuleusement les uns aux autres pour créer des formes et des volumes inspirés des paysages hivernaux en Nouvelle-Écosse. Avec le raffinement et la patience que réclame ce travail, paradoxalement Son semble aborder le mouvement et la gestuelle comme un peintre. Le regard qu’on pose sur ses œuvres fait oublier la construction et la complexité technique. Émaillées avec délicatesse, les créations de Son offrent un moment de réflexion et de sérénité sur le rythme de la vie.

EXPO ‘Fused -contemporary enamel’ – Flow Gallery, London (UK) – 9 Mars-28 Mai 2011

 Fused -contemporary enamel

This show, curated by Melissa Rigby, the Chairman of the British Society of Enamellers, aims to challenge the pre-conceived ideas attached to enamel by questioning technique, process and aesthetic and to explore contemporary artist’s voices within this ancient medium.

Enamelling, the art of fusing glass onto metal with heat, is one of the most ancient and durable means of adding colour to metal. Fused brings together artists who use the traditional enamelling technique in new and exciting ways, creating a fresh visual language for this process. Their application of enamel gives an arresting beauty and unique patina to a diverse group of objects, panels and jewellery.

 

Artists (for jewelry):
Carola Bauer, Stacey Bentley , Bettina Dittlmann, Lydia Feast, Kirsten Haydon, Hiroki Iwata, Karin Johansson, Kye-Yeon Son

Bettina Dittlmann
Bettina Dittlmann

Bettina Dittlmann is inspired by historical jewellery, ranging from mourning Victorian jewellery to American Indian pieces. Dittlmann studies the historic forms and content, which later influence her own work. Drawing is an important part of Bettina Dittlmann’s life, often a starting point for a piece of jewellery.

Carola Bauer
 Carola Bauer

Carola Bauer captures incidental gestures in her jewellery; the cinema ticket in a coat pocket, twisted to a paper roll or the accordion-folded slip of paper. Bauer hopes to remind the observer of gestures. The surprises that she experiences in the search of forms also happen during the handling and use of enamel colours.

Stacey Bentley

Stacey Bentley

Stacey Bentley is inspired by urban scenery. Becoming increasingly attentive to the unexpected and unnoticed components of this industrial environment allows Bentley to discover an elegant and mysterious aesthetic. The jewellery explores the new possibilities and ideas that industrial liquid enamel can bring to contemporary jewellery.

Karin Johansson
Karin Johansson

Karin Johansson’s work is a treasure hunt among things and stray thoughts that arise and are discarded and then meet again. Out of this process grows something enduring. “I collect, small things that fit in my matchboxes: actual pieces or abstract images caught in flight.”

Kirsten Haydon
Kirsten Haydon

Jewellery is a personal and sentimental medium. Historically, objects were created in the form of miniature representations of landscapes and icons that reminded people of their journeys and experiences. Kirsten Haydon travelled to Antarctica as an Arts Fellow. Since that time she has been exploring the depiction of this landscape, its remoteness and simplicity of landscape. “The sparseness of the landscape allowed me to focus on the man-made objects within it.”

Lydia Feast
Lydia Feast

Lydia Feast explores the concept of contrasting elements. Echoing references to time and nature whilst combining a modern clean aesthetic, this collection ‘Chaos &Calm’ brings together contrasting elements illustrating a harmony between chaos and calm, new and old and silence and noise. Inspired by her research into chaos theory: “the underlining order in some of nature’s most random processes”. Each piece is unique as a result of the carefully controlled but ultimately random outcome.

Kye-Yeon Son
Kye-Yeon Son

Kye-Yeon Son explores positive and negative spaces through her branch structures. Her work symbolizes the human cycle of growth, death, and renewal. They seem to capture intangible emotions, spirits or memories.

Hiroki Iwata
Hiroki Iwata

Hiroki Iwata takes inspiration from nature around him describing it as « an irreplaceable treasure ». His brooches made of silver, enamel and aluminium foil reflect his aim to produce feelings of empathy with the motifs of the natural world in the viewer.
