High-grade steels - the beauty of summer flowers in material and form
The bright and light summer creations by the artists of Galerie Slavik imbue the gallery's current exhibition with verve and vibrant energy.
The rings crafted by Anna Heindl - a rock crystal in a golden bowl or the "Amethyst Rock" ring - sparkle like the summer sun.
The colourful creations by the young and upcoming jewellery artist Iris Tsante, give a new definition to beauty and value. Her "Tip" necklace, made of coloured pencil tips, conveys ingenuity, fun and joy.
With her work, the artist aims to inspire optimism, lightness and delight, but also hints at fragility and vulnerability, as her self-explanatory necklace "Coloured Pencil Peelings" shows.
Letizia Plankensteiner develops lightly floating ring sculptures in silver and blackened silver combined with gold; their structured surfaces awaken associations with wrinkled paper - the works resemble paper sculptures as light as feathers!
Yoko Shimizu has conceived austere creations for the ear executed in blackened silver and gold. Her "Transformations" necklaces made of synthetic resin in pink and sea green play with the effects of light and shadow and their changing impact on the transparency and colour of the materials…. And if the jewellery is worn on the body, the transformation continues with each movement of the wearer…
We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery and showing you around our multi-faceted world of inspiring summer jewellery.
