In Valenza “The art and the jewel”

The art and jewelery, in the homeland of goldsmiths. That is, an exhibition dedicated to the artists who performed and still compete to translate their creativity into necklaces, rings, bracelets. Unique pieces that, with Damiani, the tutelary deity of the jewelery, are on display in the Piedmont town that is the «valley» of the goldsmiths: the exhibition The art and the Jewel, was presented in Milan by the owner, Silvia Damiani, godmother Dalila Di Lazzaro, the town’s mayor, Sergio Cassano and the curator of the exhibition, Vittorio Sgarbi, in his role as art expert alternated to artist of the polemics. The exhibition, housed in the villa Scalcabarozzi, the first floor will house the history of the House Damiani, with a selection of prestigious objects and rare images already collected for the exhibition Damiani 90 years of excellence and passion. You can watch special pieces that have characterized the history of Damiani goldsmiths and some award-winning works as well as jewelry that received the Diamonds International Award, considered the Oscar of the Jewelry. Damiani is the only jeweler in the world to have received as many as 18 Diamonds International Awards. The rest, about 40 works, is the result of the selection of Sgarbi, a mix of star authors, such as De Chirico, Mitoraj, Tomato, César, Fausto Melotti, Lucio Fontana, Valerio Adami, Sonia Delaunay, and lesser known artists to the general public but equally interesting, as the Greek Lisa Sotilis, Frederick Holliday, Gino De Dominicis, Gaetano Pesce, Wilfred Lam, Giuseppe Bergomi, Livio Scarpella, Cannilla Franco, Nino Franchina, Pietro Consagra and Carlo Lorenzetti, Joseph Hooks, Luigi Ontani. Those who are most interested in the critic, in any event, seem to be those who have used their artistic abilities to create new jewelry, rather than transpose the own work in reduced version and precious. Not small sculptures of his art, in short, but the comparison with a new form of expression. In this category are Alberto Giorgi, Paola Crema, Christian Perali, Vanzi Mauro and Claudio Mariani. “These last two, in particular, achieve significant results in a formal rigor that seems goldcraft find an ideal terrain for their creativity, alluding to sources of abstract art, without being indebted,” explains Sgarbi.
