Elisabetta Dupré: JEWELLERY

Italian artist, graduate of the Jewellery School « Interno 7″ in Roma and the « Atelier Aura » in Munich. Laureate of the Gallery of Art in Legnica Award in 23rd Legnica International Jewellery Competition CLASSIC.

at   Legnica Cultural Centre, Knights Academy, Chojnowska 2

Inauguration 16th May 16h30

 Elisabetta Dupre

« The works of Elisabetta Duprè evoke a rhythm comparable to the changing of seasons, day and night, a beating heart, a piece of music. Dozens, even hundreds of tiny pieces of silver and gold, small cubes, cups, flat bars, occur in a sequence, as if they were marking time, almost suggesting the ticking of a clock or the swinging of a metronome.Her work is essentially based on minute detail. Surfaces are carefully treated to acquire the desired texture and colour. The pieces are perfect in their imperfection and apparent randomness becomes fundamental. Their manual techniques are very clear and ooze from every pore: irregular edges, round shaped elements that are not quite round and squares that are not perfectly square.
Duprè has a passion for metal and has established an intimate relationship with it over time. She has a profound knowledge of the secrets of silver and gold and avails herself of traditional bench techniques to make her pieces. The tools you would find in her workshop are those traditionally  used by goldsmiths over centuries, employed with great expertise, to make jewellery that is, on the other hand, anything other than classic.
Her works have never been overly explicit, although they seem to follow certain themes at times. This comes through very clearly in the pieces under the title « Persiana », in which the window blind is barely hinted, but at the same time we are given enough elements to perceive the artist’s intention. 
Her latest works have seen the introduction of movement, through the creation of mobile structures formed by many minute pieces of silver, left a milky white or blackened, held together by tiny rings, as if they were sewn. Again we see elements that are repeated, but as opposed to the past when they were two-dimensional, now they grow to form mobile volumes that follow the body’s movement. They are soft structures that plunge into the surrounding space. Hence, just like in a dance where the harmony of movement is the result of unity between two or more people moving together, likewise in these works, harmony arises from the perfect union between object and body.
An innate sense of simplicity comes through and derives, perhaps, from Duprè’s Germanic origins. Chromatically sober, linear forms, of great communicative power.  Her works speak an elementary, rigorous language, reflecting her way of being.«

Legnica Jewellery Festival SILVER
« Sur O No Sur«   is a project carried out jointly by Eva Burton and Mercedes Rodrigo and brings together the work of fourteen Argentinian artists:  Ana WeiszCecilia HeckerEva BurtonElisa GulminelliGabriela CohnGastón RoisIacov AzubelJorge Castañón — Lucia Mishquila Brichta — Maria CarelliMercedes Castro CorbatPatricia RodriguezRodrigo Acosta and Sabina Tiemroth, who -according to the artist Guigui Kohon- « show many souths full of landscapes; corners that outline thoughts and places with blurred boundaries, connecting stories and hemispheres from a feeling hard to define…« 
It was presented for the first time in October 2014 during The Jewellery Week in Barcelona, at Siesta Gallery who´s director is Mercedes Rodrigo. It was also presented in Galería Silvestre in Tarragona, Spain.

Waking up after a sleepless night, looking at the pictures of the pieces showed at the  exhibition, reading books randomly and remembering… Everything reappears along with a passage of Marcelo Mathey, the writer. He says that when he finds a beautiful  place he fixes his gaze there to distinguish the small parts of it, or when looking at a house he tries to observe the people who live there. This is an almost accurate brief of the exhibition held at Galería Siesta in Barcelona that brings us Argentine Jewelry closer in the framework of the Barcelona Jewelry Week.
Those artists showing their “souths” full of landscapes, spots outlining thoughts, inhabited places whose boundariesfade away while connecting stories and hemispheres of a feeling that can´t be catalogued.

EXPO ‘Amber Chamber’- The Ring Gallery, Legnica (Poland) – 28 Avril-7 Juin 2015

Amber Chamber

 The Ring Gallery, Legnica, Poland – curator : Heidemarie Herb
The opening of the travelling exhibition, which presents ten renown artists taking a fresh look on amber, coincides with the Legnica Jewellery Festival Silver.
This exhibition shows a number of different approaches to amber, running the gamut from artists working with amber for the first time, to those who have been working with it for an extended period. The contrasts in these works should help to update the traditional and still rather one-sided view of amber jewelry, showing new possibilities about this interesting material.

Amberif Design Award 2014 – exhibition of the award-winning works in the International Amber Jewellery Design Competition “Materia Prima” C

AMBERIF design award

The watchword of this year’s Amberif Design Award is not just the alchemic representation of the primal substance able to take on the perfect form but also a direct reference to the contemporary idea of sustainability in design which respects local tradition, refers to the historical heritage of functional arts and elevates natural materials. Prized already in ancient Rome, Baltic amber is predisposed, as a substance close to the ideal, to be transformed into an original design. The unique nature of each individual nugget has always provoked artists to look for the right form, interpret associations, make use of its internal structure, colours, shades, transparencies and natural peculiarities preserved for the lucky finder over the past 40 million years. In an era of disposable products, it is sometimes worthwhile to look back to pre-history and fix your sight on the elusive aspects of both the physical and the metaphysical. The material, the medium itself usually gives designers a hint towards their first decisions; let us try to listen to this hint and follow through with it. We expect jewellery (without any functional limitations at all) in which the amber will be a remarkably strong justification for highlighting its most natural properties.

Legnica - 23rd - CLASSIC

23rd Legnica International Jewellery Competition Deadline March,30th, 2014 http://www.silver.legnica.pl/en/
CLASSIC
DESIGN?
The simplicity of reproduction of subsequent stylistic incarnations grows parallel with introducing of subsequent versions of 3D modelling software and rapid prototyping technologies.
ART?
Today, the race of the artistic radicalisms ends inevitably as a Youtube “freak of the week”.
HANDMADE?
The economic pressure of efficiency forced the traditional craftsmanship into the sphere of anthropological phenomena.
but, it is not true that “everything has already happened”. Everything has happened many times and nevertheless the historical retrospection and the necessity of original reinterpretation of the classic canons of the art of goldsmithing still appear inspiring. Let’s try again then to discover the timeless.

« Plastic bags, disposable package for disposable products after they’ve served their purpose, become useless- they reside in our drawers, as well as being chased by the wind in the African desert, they constitute an unwanted powerful force.
