Les confluences. Ramon Casas y la joyería contemporánea

« En el marco de la 8ª edición de JOYA Barcelona Art Jewellery Fair, la comisaria y experta en historia del arte Nichka Marobin, comisaria de la muestra, nos presenta el proyecto de “Les Confluences | Las Confluencias”. Nuestro particular homenaje a Ramon Casas continúa: un paso más allá que abasta un territorio híbrido, un diálogo entre la pintura modernista y la joyería artística.

La exposición tendrá lugar del 22 de septiembre al 16 de octubre, donde podremos apreciar un diálogo artístico, confluencia de ideas, patrones, colores y texturas entre las pinturas del artista catalán Ramon Casas y piezas de joyería artística de nivel mundial. El proyecto es el testimonio de la repetición de motivos ornamentales, adornos decorativos y texturas similares mediante la yuxtaposición de piezas de joyería contemporánea y pinturas extraídas directamente del período modernista.
En la muestra se podrá disfrutar de un Ramon Casas, en su Año oficial, enfrentado a diez artistas de diferentes nacionalidades, con su particular visión del universo de la joya contemporánea. Una sinfonía artística de colores, texturas y emociones, que danzan alrededor de las obras de Casas. Las sensaciones que transmiten sus óleos y dibujos atrapan a estos artistas, inspiradas en un Casas más actual que nunca.
Mundos aparentemente diferentes como son la pintura y la joyería artística, el Modernismo y el arte contemporáneo: sutiles broches, brazaletes o pendientes de originales contrastes, encuentran en esta exposición su espacio, su conversación, poética y sugerente. Una muestra que acerca fuentes artísticas de raíz diversa –técnica y culturalmente- para compartir la inagotable capacidad creativa de los artistas y del ser humano. »

en in « Descubrir el Arte« 

The project is the testimony of repeating ornamental motives, decorative ornaments and similar textures by juxtaposing pieces of artistic jewellery and paintings taken directly from the modernist period, is comparing two forms of artistic expression different time and space come together harmoniously together.
An artistic dialogue, confluence of ideas, patterns, colors and textures among the paintings of the Catalan Modernist painter Ramón Casas and art jewelry pieces of 10 renowned artists worldwide.

EXPO “INTERNO” – Antonella Villanova/Galleria Bagnai, Firenze (IT) – 21 Juin-14 Sept. 2013

“INTERNO”

Lucia Massei e Pizzi Cannella (peinture)
21 giugno – 14 settembre 2013

Inaugurazione: venerdì 21 giugno 2013 ore 19.00

Dal 21 giugno al 14 settembre 2013 Antonella Villanova, in collaborazione con la Galleria Alessandro Bagnai, presenta negli spazi di Palazzo Ricasoli, Piazza Goldoni 2 a Firenze: “Interno”, Lucia Massei e Pizzi Cannella.

In the project Absentia-Essentia – Lucia Massei ’s latest pieces of jewelry realized and displayed in a cross-dialogue with admired Italian painter Pizzi Cannella.
The jewels of Massei, made with gold, shibuichi, silver, iron and pigments, are evocative forms: the suggested but unsaid, the energy retained, the empty space as a contrast, the intermission of silence between musical notes or words, the suspension.
Massei’s work aims to capture the “in-between,” attempting to catch what separates and links strength and fragility, transience and eternity, past and future. Her jewels capture the transition from raw matter to unique and essential forms. Perceiving a particularly affinity with her poetry, Massei will involve the celebrated artist Piero Pizzi Cannella to conceive a silk wall tissue made by Antico Setificio Fiorentino, an Italian factory specializing in silk production. In 1780 the Grand Duke Leopoldo of Lorraine donated several looms to the factory, enabling the decoration of the most beautiful and prestigious homes and museums throughout Europe.
The silk tissue is decorated with a chandelier, creating an evocative subject that is frequently present in Pizzi Cannella works. It becomes a total interior environment, conceived to lend the exhibition the proper “suspended” scenography.

Lucia Massei ring

Il percorso espositivo si svilupperà in quattro sale. In tre sale in mostra i gioielli di Lucia Massei in oro.
Il titolo della mostra Interno, sottolinea la volontà di ricreare un ambiente privato, intimo, in cui le opere dei due artisti dialogano e si misurano con la spazio circostante nel tentativo di realizzare un luogo in cui tutto rimane sospeso, evocativo.
I gioielli di Lucia Massei sono realizzati “a strati”, l’oro, i pigmenti naturali, come l’olio nelle opere di Pizzi Cannella, si sovrappongono, celano e svelano, in un continuo rimando, fino a divenire altro nella forma e nel colore, in un processo che molto ricorda il “girare simbolico ed intimo delle immagini nella rappresentazione iconografica della memoria collettiva, misto di vero e onirico” (E.Nobile Mino), presente nel lavoro dell’artista romano.

Lucia MASSEI, coup de coeur toujours !

Lucia Massei, director of Alchimia is now part of the artists in Galerie Sofie Lachaert

“We stay on the surface because we feel the depth”, would be a phrase to describe the feeling Lucia’s jewellery can give  »

Unusual SHOP : « In Stock » – goes to ASIA during Taiwan Designers’ Week 2010 – 3-12 Sept 2010

‘In Stock’ the jewellery pop-up store in a hardware shop coat is a blessed concept initiated by the three Dutch designers Ineke Heerkens, Jantje Fleischhut, Jeannette Jansen since 2009. This project of an unconventional display of contemporary jewellery design shows work, which lingers on the edge of design and art. Around seventy renowned international designers produce for this concept multiples in an edition of five – still mostly handmade.

COUP de … ROUGE avec Lucia MASSEI – Filo ROSSO ………

Une architecture à l’allure délicate mais à la présence puissante et qui me touche profondément ….

« Lucia Massei‘s works reveal evocative forms and release a strong energy. The artist likes to use hard metals such as shibuichi and iron, due to their inherent internal tension and surprising lightness. She also enjoys availing herself of gold due to its ability to bring to life different hues of red. Jewellery making to Massei is a very special moment, a time when she can shut off from the rest of her surroundings and enter into a world of her own. It is a private space, a time for reflection and a time to elaborate her thoughts, that will then be translated into sculptural pieces for the body. Her jewellery pieces are the result of her experiences, a time for her to be able to make up stories that she will later share with all of us. They create a bridge between her and the rest of the world, a bridge that allows her to reach out to people and speak to them in a language of her own. At times they are the end of one journey and the beginning of another. They come to us in the form of delicate, feminine, poetic works for the body, able to tell us a different story every time we look at them. A journey into the artist’s intimate sphere, but at the same time, a journey each one of us can make into our own private realm. » (Alternatives Gallery)

Shibuichi (四分一^?) is a billon which can be patinated into a range of subtle muted shades of blue or green. Its name means « one-fourth » in Japanese and indicates the standard formulation of one part silver to three parts copper, though this may be varied according to the desired effect. A 5% silver / 95% copper alloy is also marketed as « shibuichi » [1]. An wide range of colours can be achieved using the whole range of alloy compositions, even above 50% silver. It is a common misconception that both copper and silver oxides form but in fact a detailed study has shown that only copper oxides are formed on the copper rich regions of the materials microstructure while the silver rich regions are left largely untouched.
For most of its history, shibuichi was mostly used to ornament various fittings for katana until the Meiji reforms, when most swordmakers began to make purely decorative objects instead. Similar alloys have been used elsewhere but the use of shibuichi to achieve different colored patinas has remained nearly unknown outside Japan, despite recent interest from artisans in the West.  (wikipedia)
