Contemporary art becomes a jewel with De Meo

Published on October 16, 2023

Ring Streeps, oxidized silver and 18kt gold

Art, crafts, goldsmithing. Three words that run after each other and, at times, come together in the work of someone who does not chase fashions, but an idea. As in the case of Corrado De Meo, an artist and jeweler outside the box, who lives and works in Livorno (Italy). Even his professional career does not follow the usual patterns: he graduated in sociology, then he traveled all over the world and discovered the fascination of ethnic cultures. Until 2005, when a jewelery exhibition at Palazzo Medici Riccardi, in Florence in which he participates, marks the turning point: he decides to create jewelery-works.

Over time, his contemporary art sculptures transformed into brooches and rings have participated in various exhibitions. The Museo degli Argenti of Palazzo Pitti in Florence, in the permanent collection, houses one of his works. De Meo also participated in the Beijing International Jewelry Art Biennial in China and in the Dialoghi / Dialogues AGC-JJDA project in Tokyo. He uses the most diverse materials, from silver to polystyrene, from pearls to wood. Of course, they are not common jewels to wear, but perhaps to be observed.

Patrizia Corvaglia’s jewels to look at

Jewels, but to look before wearing: they are those of Patrizia Corvaglia, Roman artist-designer. In fact, more than jewels in the classic sense, Patrizia Corvaglia’s productions are more comfortable under the showcases of an exhibition, rather than in jewelry. But this does not mean that they cannot also be used as ornaments, even if they are unique pieces and created with the idea of researching the material and volumes. Sculptures that use gold and semi-precious stones as materials.

The Patrizia Corvaglia Gioielli brand was born in 2002. From that year, the designer’s jewels have participated in numerous exhibitions, testifying to the fact that these are first of all creations created also with the spirit of artistic research. The source of inspiration for the jewels are natural elements, as in the Leaves collection, but also abstract geometries, as in the case of the Optical collection, where the shape of the circle is repeated in a hypnotic way. And unlike the Geometrie collection, which prefers the rectangular design.
There is also a link to the architecture and history of Salento, the land of origin of the designer: the Baroque collection takes up the curls and curves of that artistic period that marked art in Puglia.

Tiffany’s touch of art in Bologna

Published on November 8, 2022

news

While launching its campaign for Christmas by making a film about Andy Warhol, shot in New York by Mario Sorrenti with the photography of Raymond Meier, Tiffany opens a new store in Italy (the first had opened in 2007). This time the historic American Maison has chosen Bologna, famous for its city center, cultural and social life, as well as for its towers (and, yes, also for its gastronomy). In Bologna, Tiffany has inaugurated a space of almost 200 square meters spread over two levels. The space, in addition to jewels, hosts the works of eight artists: Ian Rayer Smith, Kai & Sunny, Caspar Jansen, Jan Kalab, Lila Farget, Zhang He, Rhia Hurte and Eelco Hilgersom. A novelty, which is part of the strategy adopted by the company to bring the brand closer to the world of art.

The shop, located in Galleria Cavour, also houses a Tiffany Laburnum floor lamp, designed by the Tiffany Studio in the early 1900s and made with glass and gilt bronze in an art nouveau style. Obviously the predominant color is the classic Tiffany blue, which frames diamond jewelry and the brand’s most requested collections, including Tiffany T, Tiffany City HardWear, Tiffany Victoria, Jean Schlumberger and Elsa Peretti, as well as the new Lock collection. On the occasion of the opening of the store, the boutique hosts the X Link necklace in yellow gold with 755 diamonds designed by Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. and worn by Beyoncé in the video of the new Lose Yourself in Love campaign. A creation that took more than 80 hours of work to be created by the Maison’s artisans.

The avant-garde jewel in Florence

Book plane, train or hotel for Florence. And not just for the historic artistic wonders of the city. In fact, the Florence Jewelery Week 2022 is coming (from April 28 to May 2), curated by Giò Carbone and Alice Rendon. The event took place in various locations, including exhibitions, meetings and workshops dedicated, of course, to the world of jewelry. At the center is Preziosa, an exhibition set up at the Galleria delle Carrozze of Palazzo Medici Riccardi, which brings together the work of nine artist-jewelers: Lauren Kalman, Anya Kivarkis, Rein Vollenga, Sam Tho Duong, Jayne Wallace, Kazumi Nagano, Conversation Piece ( Beatrice Brovia & Nicolas Cheng), Ana Rajcevic and Barbara Paganin.

Lauren Kalman, oggetto indossabile Flourish

The objective, according to the organizers, is “to understand through the work of these authors how the horizons of contemporary jewelery are being redefined, a field that today finds itself confronted with the progressive disintegration of obsolete categorizations, opening up to the fusion of expressive languages and intersection of artistic practices “. For this reason, not only jewels are on display, but also wearable sculptures.

Another driver is the dematerialization of the object in the digital age, which hopefully will not spread until the materiality of the jewel disappears. An aspect related to sustainability and, in particular, upcycling, could not be missing, that is, creative recycling. Moreover, a practice that has always been in force as soon as you wear an inherited family jewel. Also noteworthy are the wearable art installations by the Dutch Rein Vollenga, the creations of the Serbian Ana Rajcevic of the Americans Lauren Kalman and Anya Kivarkis. Here we are in the area of research, with strange oscillations between conceptual art and goldsmith craftsmanship perfectly compatible with the usual use of jewelry.

The English Jayne Wallace, on the other hand, proposes a hi-tech injection into the jewel object, the Italian-Hong Kong couple formed by Beatrice Brovia & Nicolas Cheng recovers the minerals of which electronic devices are made from landfills while the Italian Barbara Paganin recovers objects of memory from flea markets to transform them into new hybrids that cross time. If you want to be amazed, know that there is also the Vietnamese Sam Tho Duong who cuts, folds and assembles them together according to a logic of interlocking jars of out of stock yogurt and Kazumi Nagano who applies traditional textile and painting techniques of the Japanese style to jewelry.

Art jewels in Lugano

Published on October 25, 2021

news

A new appointment between art and jewelery in Lugano (Switzerland). The Kromya Art Gallery (Viale Franscini, 11) hosts the exhibition Precious Perspectives. Works and jewels in dialogue dedicated to the works of the architect and designer Eleonora Castagnetta with bronze works by the artist Alex Pinna. The exhibition is curated by Paola Stroppiana, an art historian. The initiative aims to reassign the artist’s jewel a leading role in the contemporary context. “Jewelery as a work of art, perfectly finished, is able to express the strength of creativity on a par with other disciplines, integrating the peculiar expressive-creative dimension of the artistic artefact with the characteristic of wearability.

From this consideration, the new perspectives for reading the work of the two artists involved are born: Alex Pinna, sculptor, and Eleonora Castagnetta, architect, each decline the jewel according to their own expressive language, finding in it an admirable formal and conceptual opportunity to transpose their own personal poetics “. Eleonora Castagnetta exhibits some unpublished works, inspired by Italo Calvino’s The Invisible Cities, transforming four of the utopian cities described in the volume into a jewel: Dorotea, Fedora, Sofronia and Tecla: silver and enamel brooches with gold and diamond details, in a casket which contextualizes its dimension. The exhibition itinerary is enriched by the presence of other jewels, previously made, inspired by great masters of architecture and the Bauhaus: the Mognolo ring (for the realization of which he drew inspiration from the Church of San Giovanni Battista in Mogno, Switzerland , designed by the internationally renowned architect Mario Botta, with whom Eleonora collaborated for 13 years); Ziggurat; Tribute to Le Corbusier and Tribute to the Bauhaus.

GemGèneve expands to art with Katerina Perez and Flair

Published on October 19, 2021

news

GemGèneve, the jewelry and gems fair scheduled from 4 to 7 November in Geneva (Switzerland) has enlisted one of the best known experts in the sector, Katerina Perez, to organize the work of the Flair community of artists. The result is Flair @flairproject_official, an online gallery and an independent multimedia art community aimed at the creators of unique objects and creations inspired by the world of jewelry and precious stones. Its members, from the UK, France, Germany and Russia, were selected by Katerina Perez, who is the founder of the project.

Transcedance di Celia Martorchini-Fabbri

The creations of the 15 Flair artists will be presented at the next GemGenève fair, with pieces available for purchase exclusively at the exhibition itself and on Instagram, a platform on which Katerina Perez has a great following. The idea is that of a community of people with the same vision and who share the process of artistic creation, while allowing unique paintings, prints and works of art to find a buyer. All artworks are created as unique pieces designed exclusively for the Flair project and will not be reproduced. Prices range from 1,000 to 36,000 euros.

Flair is a continuation of my mission to bring more awareness to precious jewellery and gemstones. This latest collaborative project with GemGenève is a wonderful way to spotlight FLAIR artists and introduce jewellery and gemstones into people’s lives in an unexpected and beautiful way. This project is also a tribute to my family. My mother restores paintings and my father antique furniture, so I believe I have inherited an artistic sensibility that benefits my work in the jewellery sector as well as informs my passion for multi-media art and design.
Katerina Perez

Each member of Flair is selected based on their skills and unique style, rather than international recognition or fame, in order to present to the world hidden gems in different artistic fields. For example, at GemGenève Celia Martorchini-Fabbri will propose an original approach to digital art, in contrast to that of the artist and fashion photographer, Ksenia Usacheva, who will present a series of photos and oil paintings. Famous illustrator Hossein Borojeni will exhibit a series of black and white watercolors in a traditional style, while London-based photographer Julia Flit will present two wall decorations with splashes of color. High fashion artist Aigana Gali will exhibit a unique hand painted coat, while Anna Petrich has prepared a collection of bags inspired by hand painted jewelry.

The works of the Flair artists will be exhibited at Stand C11, at the Palexpo exhibition and congress center in Geneva, Switzerland, to encourage visitors and exhibitors to discover pieces and meet some artists in person. Ksenia Usacheva, for example, will paint in oil directly on the stand to allow visitors to witness «how magic works». Katerina Perez will also be on site to showcase a unique collaboration with the master of gemstone cutting, Pauly Carvings, which expresses itself in the form of a rock crystal sculpture of Perez’s hand. Furthermore, on Saturday 6 November at 11.30, participants and exhibitors are invited to participate in a conference entitled The importance of creativity in art, jewelery design and brand communication.

James Rivière, the journey continues

Published on January 1, 2021

news/COLLANE

Art or jewelry? Both aspects are brought together in the work of James Rivière ♦ ︎

On the new site of James Rivière, the stage name of Vincenzo Teora Rivière, there is a short autobiography:

“He is considered one of the greatest jewelry designers of the 20th century. He is a versatile artist and he is also a designer, sculptor “reads.

Yet, despite this, James Rivière almost never participates in public events. 50 years have passed since his debut: he began his official career as a designer participating in the Milan Triennale and where he won jewelry competitions in 1972 and 1973. His artistic path is truly unique: among the most curious aspects there is the use of meteorite fragments for some of the unique pieces, including the one created for Pope Benedict XVI.
The jewels created by James Riviere are also present in some museums and private collections in the world, including the Monolite bracelet, exhibited at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs du Louvre, Paris.

The artist-jeweler also invented his own expressive language. For example, the triangle represents creativity and dynamism. The square rationalism and concreteness. The circle completeness and perfection. In short, jewels are not simply objects to wear, but also symbols to reflect.

Also his story follows a different path from that of other creatives: at the age of 25 Rivière was nominated honorary professor for a seminar on metal plastic forms at the University of Gdansk. He then participated in the establishment of the Goldsmith Design Center and at the IED, the European Institute of Design. The unique pieces of the artist are born between Via Montenapoleone and Via Bigli, in the heart of Milan, and are intended for a select group of private collectors. Cosimo Muzzano

The magic touch of Georg Hornemann

Few jewelers can boast that they are true artists: Georg Hornemann is one of them. The designer has a story worth telling. He was born in 1940 in Dassau, in what was East Germany. Since he was young his aptitude for design emerged, at the famous Bauhaus school, and at 15 he worked as an apprentice with one of Dessau’s leading goldsmiths. Before the final closure of the borders, in 1958 Hornemann managed to go to West Germany, and find work at Weyersberg, one of the leading jewelers in Düsseldorf.

At 27, he received the first international prize as a jewelry designer and started his own business as a goldsmith. His specialty are unique and unusual pieces. In the early 1970s, his designs were inspired by Op Art, but Hornemann also used non-jewelry materials such as ancient coins, Byzantine crosses, Russian icons, and Japanese sword parts. In 1982 he was admitted to the Diamonds International Academy by Sir Anthony Oppenheimer and his jewels have been exhibited in New York, Paris, London, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Zurich, Düsseldorf and Berlin and have won awards.

Since 1985, his son Alexander Hornemann has also started working with him. From jewelry, the German designer’s design then moved to silver and iron household items, bowls and candlesticks. With the turn of the century, Hornemann also created his so-called ring sculptures, inspired by contemporary architecture, sculpture and art.

Hornemann was also the first goldsmith to design a jewelry collection specifically for the luxury brand Akris summer 2005 prêt-à-porter collection, exhibited in Paris at the Carrousel du Louvre. He works with precious stones and gold, silver, platinum, bronze and iron, but also Corian or acrylic. The motifs of flora and fauna are central, so he simplifies and abstracts the natural forms and emphasizes the ornamental. Another theme is the tension between life and death.

Daverio 1933’s artistic legacy

It is said that the jewel is a small work of art. But that’s often not true. Not all jewels are made with formal research, as well as with the aim of easy sale. There are, however, exceptions. One of these concerns Daverio 1933, a small Maison in Bergamo (Italy). The exception concerns, in particular, the roots of the company, which takes its name from Franco Daverio, an illustrator and sculptor with artistic qualities also praised by a famous Italian painter, Fausto Melotti. Daverio developed his work in a period of the twentieth century that was particularly full of developments for the world of art. The jewelery production started by Luca Daverio, the son, is inspired by that experience.

Anello della linea Ricci in oro rosa e oro bianco 18 carati, diamanti

Daverio 1933’s jewels are affected by that legacy linked to the Italian artistic avant-garde of the mid-last century and, above all, by his father’s work but, of course, they also have a wearability that makes them tuned to the present day. Daverio 1933’s atelier produces handcrafted jewelry and, in particular, unique pieces for lovers of artistic jewelry. The jewels are the result of the creativity of Luca Daverio, who personally designs every single piece and creates it in collaboration with expert craftsmen from Milan and Valenza.

Art and jewelery with Elisabetta Cipriani

Art and jewelery are placed side by side in Elisabetta Cipriani’s gallery in London ♦ ︎

The world of art and jewels are linked. Not only because pieces of fine jewelry are small masterpieces of creativity, but also because conceptually the protagonists of the two worlds sometimes overlap. One example is the ork of Elisabetta Cipriani, who in London in 2009, opened a gallery in which she exhibited jewels created by over 40 painters and sculptors. All names are prominent, such as Ai Weiwei, Chiharu Shiota, Giulio Paolini, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Enrico Castellani, Erwin Wurm, Giorgio Vigna, Jannis Kounellis, Rebecca Horn and Pedro Cabrita Reis.

Rings that are sculptures, sculptures that are worn, unique jewels: Elisabetta has convinced the artists and jewelry designers to collaborate with the project, which involves the artisan realization of pieces that can be worn. But also simply admiring, as many jewels are exhibited in museums and private collections all over the world, including the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; Museum of Art and Design, New York; World Jewelery Museum, Seoul; and The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

Art meets jewelery with Palmiero’s 2019 collection, top creativity pieces ♦

When does art meet jewelery? Written in this way is a question that emerges when you look at a collection or a single piece of jewelry, especially those of fine jewelry. So when does art meet jewelery? When can a bracelet, ring or necklace be considered works of art? It is the same question that Carlo Palmiero, one of the noble names of jewelry made in Valenza, Piedmont, Italy, posed to himself. In fact the jeweler has titled his collection, presented at Baselworld 2019, just like this: When art meets jewel (without question mark). And the answer is: yes, he meets it.

Why can these jewels be considered as small (in size) works of art?

First of all, they are unique pieces. They cannot be imitated, they have their own unmistakable style, to be realized they need expert manual skills, like that of a painter who colors with a brush. And, again, they are indisputably the result of creativity. And, in addition to the design of the object, the choice of stones is also the result of a creative attitude: they are different and unique for their purity and their quality. White and black diamonds, cognac, blue, green, yellow, purple, sapphire diamonds that fade like colors on a canvas in blue, pink, yellow, real topazes, tanzanites, rubellites, opals, serve Palmiero as the colors on the palette.

Graff, orecchini di diamanti ispirati a Cy Twombly

A series of unique pieces by Graff and inspired by the works of a famous artist, Cy Twombly. They are really jewelry with collectible diamonds ♦ ︎
The jewelry, when is by high level, is an art. And if this art is inspired by art, the kind in exhibition in museums? It is hyper art, cube art, meta art: call it what you want. But that’s what Graff presented at Baselworld 2018. That is diamonds (the specialty of the London jeweler) and sapphires that are made up to form jewels inspired by the works of an artist considered as Andy Warhol, Basquiat or Pablo Picasso: Cy Twombly. He was an American artist who died in 2011 proposing works that, according to some, recall scribbles on a piece of paper. But that, however you consider the artistic production of Twombly, translated into jewelry are perfect: a balance between whimsical innovation and classic luxury, as for the earrings that end with two fine pear-cut diamonds. The artist is also a favorite of Laurence Graff, who also collected several works by Twombly, alongside other masters of contemporary art. It was not easy, however, to translate the artistic spirit at the base of a painting in jewelry. Only a Maison with a long tradition and craft skills above average could do it. Curiously, though, the collection does not have a precise name: it is inspired by art and that’s it. And it is made up of unique pieces: just like a painter’s work. Rudy Serra

The jewels designed by the artists have often been made by goldsmiths.
«My passion for the jewel of art was born the day when Bernar enjoyed wrapping my left ring finger a thin silver wand … This gesture, touching in its spontaneity, had another effect on me , to discover the little known universe of these unique art jewels, precious for their rarity and their symbolic load often at the origin of their creation “, said Diane Venet.

Gioiello disegnato da De Chirico, esposto alla mostra «L'arte e il gioiello» a Valenza

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.

Ciascuno rappresenta un concetto: bellezza, simbolo, icone, design, futuro, funzione, arte , moda e magia. Ci sono i cammei e i coralli tipici della tradizione italiana provenienti dalla collezione privata dei Fratelli De Simone, uno dei nomi illustri della gioielleria italiana, c’è un modernissimo riferimento a Michelangelo, ci sono materiali di scarto che diventano design ma sociale e anche l’idea di rendere un oggetto ornamentale anche utile. Gioiellis li ha visti in anteprima e ve li mostra. M.B.
