« The work of Kimiaki Kageyama, represented by gallery Deux Poissons, is a case in point. His iron rose brooch seems impossibly detailed and is a unique use of a base metal and resin to create a slightly decayed appearance. » (JapanTimes)

Kimiaki Kageyama is one of the most important Japanese Master Goldsmiths. He did a workshop at Alchimia school about « Japanese traditional copper alloys and coloring‘ (2013). In Japan, coloring metals has been experimented since 4th~5th century.  Direct coloring began around the end of the Heian period (794-1185) but it is during the Muromachi period (1330-1568) that the development of various kinds of copper alloys suitable for coloring flourished.

Bettina Speckner (b. 1962) is well known by her special jewelries that are particularly specialized in using photographs.
Through the process of photo-etching, photo-enamelling, and collage of old ferrotype, the artist turns photos into pieces of gems. They become part of an individual composition together with precious metals, diamonds, colored stones and found objects in a new poetic harmony.
The exhibition consists of approximately 20 pieces including a brooch with a photo taken by the artist during her last visit in Tokyo.

EXPO ‘「Edelmetal・Edelstahl・Edelstein」’ – Gallery Deux Poissons, Tokyo (Japan) – 22 Oct.-7 Nov. 2010

Okinari Kurokawa : Edelmetal – Edelstahl – Edelstein

EXPO '「Edelmetal・Edelstahl・Edelstein」' - Gallery Deux Poissons, Tokyo (Japan) - 22 Oct.-7 Nov. 2010 dans Exposition/Exhibition CRO2010extrim2

  本展のタイトル「Edelmetal・Edelstahl・Edelstein」はドイツ語で、「貴金属・ステンレススチール・貴石」を意味します。ス テンレススチールは、英語ではstainless steel(錆びない鋼)というのに対して、ドイツ語ではEdelstahl(高貴な鋼)と表現することに惹かれたという黒川。ステンレススチールをメイ ンの素材として、edel(エーデル、『高貴な』の意)の語呂合わせで、貴金属と貴石を組み合わせたジュエリーで展覧会を構成しています。
 一般的にジュエリーの中心的な素材として使われることは少ないステンレスですが、黒川は以前からステンレスの可能性に着目し、自身のジュエリーに用いて きました。黒川は、ステンレスの魅力を「色や硬質な感じがプラチナに近い雰囲気があり、より明るさがあるところ。しかも比重が軽く、強度も十分なのでとて も使いやすいこと」と話しています。しかし、制作上の機能性に加え、審美的な視点から、ステンレスの新しい形や魅力を引き出すジュエリーを生み出すことが 黒川興成の真骨頂といえます。
 新しいリングの構造を探究し続けている黒川らしい新作の一つは、ステンレスのフレームに、アメジストやトルマリンなどの天然石が浮かぶリングのシリーズ です。ラフな風合いを残した不定形な色石と、直線的で無機質なフレームのダイナミックな対比が、互いを引き立て合っています。20金のパーツを使って緻密 に作られており、指に通すとスムーズに石が動き、ぴったりと指になじみます。このリングはペンダントトップとしても使用できる構造になっており、宙に浮か んで動きが加わるとがらりと表情を変えます。また、置かれている姿は、小さな建築物やモニュメントのような完成された構築的な美しさを備えています。
 さらなる進化を続ける黒川興成の新作ジュエリーをぜひ会場でご覧ください

Okinari Kurokawa - rings

 The exhibition title “Edelmetal – Edelstahl – Edelstein” (“precious metal, stainless steel, precious stone” in German) shows three materials that are used in Kurokawa’s new creation. Compared to English word “stainless-steel”, German describes the same metal as “precious (edel) steel”. Being sympathized with such expression in German, Kurokawa chose stainless steel as a main material in his new jewelries. Although Kurokawa has been using stainless steel in his earlier works, this was another challenge to find unprecedented forms with the material, combining with precious stones and precious metal. The result of artist’s long examination will be shown in the exhibition.

Daniel KRUGER – a surprising twist to the familiar

Classé dans : COUP DE COEUR,Daniel KRUGER (DE),Gal. DeuxPoissons (JP),Gal. Funaki (AU) — bijoucontemporain @ 5:17

« Born in South Africa and living in Germany, Daniel Kruger has exhibited extensively since 1980 and has taught around the world.
‘His transformative eye as a goldsmith converts jewellery traditions into new revelations and awakens our thinking to alternative jewellery stories. Banal jewellery types become exalted by a freedom to simplify, decorate and conjure the unpredictable. The formal language of an earlier era is given new meanings in found objects, to convey courtly and personal themes.’ » (RMIT)

Daniel KRUGER - a surprising twist to the familiar dans COUP DE COEUR 364

366 dans Daniel KRUGER (DE)

« Daniel Kruger is a versatile artist. Not just his disciplines – he makes both ceramics and jewellery – but the variety of his ideas and themes. Much of his inspiration is from historical and ethnic sources. Sometimes his work sticks closely to the original, but Daniel’s approach is always from the position now, giving a surprising twist to the familiar. His work has a typical Daniel Kruger signature which is unmistakably contemporary.
In recent years, Daniel has focused on necklaces. Prominent, powerful and bold. They connect with the personality of the wearer. I can imagine that this is jewellery which you would wear the rest of your life …  » (Paul Derrez)
