EXPO ‘Marta Boan: The appearance of jewels’ – Four Gallery, Göteborg (Sweden) – 7-22 Fevr. 2014

« Marta Boan: The appearance of jewels » – 7–22 février

Basic geomatric shapes, lines and points create a language speaking of chaos and order. Volumes growing into a minimalistic expression that communicates and accentuates a figure.
The jewellery of Marta Boan is an elegant explanation of a complex surrounding world. The thin and seemingly fragile objects make the observer want to come closer to discover the details and the strength of the material. Mathematics and art in a beautiful balance.

Welcome to meet Marta Boan and see the exhibition at Four Friday February 7, 17.00-21.00

On Thursday February 6, 16.00 Marta Boan will make a lecture at HDK – University of Arts and Crafts and Design, please mail [e-mail] for more detailed information.

EXPO ‘Sand’ – Four Gallery, Gothenburg (Sweden) – 12 Avril-25 Mai 2013

‘Sand’ by Catarina Hällzon at Four Gallery (Gothenburg, Sweden)

Catarina Hällzon makes sketches with glue in the sand of the shores. In a playful and poetic way her gravel drawings turns into chain elements that are put together into wearable sculptures. By casting the grain she interrupts the movement and captures the shape. Four is looking forward meeting the summer with the exhibition Sand and Catarina Hällzon’s documentation of the shores of past summers.

”I let the sand pass through my fingers, a transient form took off and I am trying to catch it”

« Remembering the light playing in the sand as a child, the feeling of sand straining through my fingers… 
I strain the sand between my fingers, drawing shapes with the grit. Passing forms appear and I am trying to catch them. I draw a shape in the sand; I draw it directly with what will hold them together. I document the movement in making, the very essence of a form appearing. I then link my drawings together, the links and the empty holes are getting wearable together.
I am trying to catch shapes on the move. By building and casting shapes out of sand and then unite them using traditional jewellery making techniques I formed pieces that for a moment is left for your imagination.
Capturing sand straining through my fingers. »
