COUP de COEUR : Yung-huei Chao & her rooftops

Yung-huei Chao (from Bench 886 group) & her rooftops

« Jewellery is the building block put on to the surface of the body, and so are the constructional elements on housings and architectures.
I use the symbols of Taiwanese housing elements that people rely on, to create space within the compact city lives and frame ourselves into a secure and comfort environment. The unintentional action divides people into distinctive characters throughout the years.
I try to capture these actions being neglected for the ordinary, and magnify the images by retaining the icons and mimicking in wearable dimension. »

she began with balconies …..

During SCHMUCK 2015 – EXPO ‘Bubble Land’ – Gallery Kobeia, Munich (DE) – 11-15 Mars 2015

Bubble Land – Ten Contemporary Jewellery Artists from Taiwan

Opening  March 11, 18:30  / Gallery Kobeia

 

Bench 886

 

Bubble Land is an imaginary space reflecting our mind state, delivering treasures integrated with our history, present and fantasy on the island we live in.
We may all come from the same land; some see it as a mystic island that is often neglected by the outside, while others embrace the diverse, rich and wealthy livelihood.
The multi-perspective experience we share is a brief moment on the proceeding time lapse we live in. It contains spiritual eternal values, but not always visually perpetual. It is the little details acknowledged by the inhabitants participating in daily lives that bring gratitude or responses toward the present situations.

EXPO ‘Ni Hao’ – Gallery Kobeia, Munich (DE) – 13-18 Mars 2014

SCHMUCK 2014 – Munich – 12-18 Mars 2014

Ni Hao ! - 10 contemporary jewellery artists from Taiwan

The emerging Taiwan-based art jewelry group “Bench 886” is scheduled to present their works at Schmuck 2014 Munich Germany Jewelry Fair, showing the rich variety of their artistic energy on the international stage which is regarded as the Oscars in art jewelry

‘Hi’ (Ni Hao in Chinese) is a magic greeting word that initiates communication, just  as a key that opens the door to a discussion, a bridge that crosses the  boundaries of silence. Language very often goes beyond its linguistic meaning;   however, it is also confined to linguistic competence. If there is a way that  crosses the borders of language and speaks up one’s opinions through work piece,  so that everyone, regardless of language, could feel the frequency of the world;  that would be art.

‘Ni Hao! (hi) We are art  jewellery artists from Taiwan!’

Mei-Fang Chiang dialogues the relationship between soul and work  itself ;

Cai-Xuan (Molly) Wu and Heng Lee discover the beauty of knitting and  embroidery in an unconventional way;

Wen-Miao Yeh and Yu-Ping Lin develop the  Origami and paper cutting in structural dramatic forms;

Shih-Dea (Deborah) Tseng  and Ying-Hsun (Zita) Hsu reveal the vague and abstract spirit of ‘Zen’  in the perceptions of touch and vision;

Han-Chieh (Joy) Chuang, Ying-Hsiu Chen and Yung-Huei Chao combine the inspiration from  Mother Nature with the memory toward motherland.

‘Ten jewellery artists come from the same land, ten storytellers  looking forward to a whole new page in their lives.’
