Expressive power in resplendent blue
Galerie Slavik would like to invite you to a time-travel journey to jewellery art.
The gallery’s artists present creations spanning a wide arch from timelessly valuable miniature gold sculptures to perspex neck chains and brooches made of stainless steel.
Gabriele Miller Lehsten skilfully combines modern materials with precious metals, as her bright blue and mauve neck chains with heavy silver clasp impressively show.
With her most recent necklace creations, the German jewellery artist Brigitte Ribbentrop provides striking evidence that less may well prove to be more. Slices of lapis lazuli or fuchsia red roots of sapphire worn on thin, gold or silver-plated metal wire gracefully adorn your décolleté.
Miriam Hiller, the winner of the 2009 Grassi Prize, specialises on working stainless steel. She develops and forms brooches and chains from "clusters and crystals" of stainless steel - architectonic miniature sculptures in brilliant, intense colours through surface treatment with powder coating.
Georg Dobler, committed to an aesthetic and naturalistic approach, writes his own chapter in contemporary jewellery history. Closely oriented on nature, his floral brooches such as "Red Blossoms" bear witness to his expressive power while radiating an enticing charm - the extraordinary artistic idiom of an avant-garde artist of the early 21st century.
The Catalonian jewellery artist Ramon Puig invites you to the colourful world of his brooches.
We look forward to welcoming you to Galerie Slavik and taking you on a journey to gallery’s multi-facetted world of jewellery art!
