JEWELLERY IN SPRING
Bruno Martinazzi, Ralph Bakker, Per Suntum, Kaori Juzu
Exhibition period:
5 April to 30 April 2011

Bruno Martinazzi, Brosche "bocca", 20 kt Gold, 1992
Paying tribute to the spring season, Galerie Slavik's latest exhibition JEWELLERY IN SPRING shows light, delicate jewellery creations inspired by awakening nature.
The German jewellery artist Rike Bartels uses corals and gemstones to create impressions of colourful spring meadows.
Bruno Martinazzi, born in 1923 and a sculptor and goldsmith by profession and calling, presents miniature sculptures in gold and silver evidencing his power of expression in his favourite medium. The artist amalgamates timeless classic materials with symbolic design to generate a complex dialogue.
His miniature sculptures of body parts such as hands, fingers, lips, the navel, a breast, or just eyes as in his brooch "Occhi", dissevered from the human context, are what we call "art to wear".
Mirjam Hiller's brooches are wearable miniature sculptures made of stainless steel, powder coated in different colours.
The geometrical brooches of the "iro iro" series by Kaori Juzu come in the fresh hues of spring: yellow, red and green "enamel boxes" handcrafted with Japanese perfection and quality.
Per Suntum, a specialist in surface working, presents brooches and rings in gold and silver such as the brooch "sea flowers", which mirrors a landscape with water lilies in spring.
Unique jewellery art is a perfect way of expressing your individuality. We look forward to your visit.
