  • Michale Becker
    Jewellery Art
    15th October 2002
    Michael Becker derives the inspiration for his work primarily from architecture, its language of geometric form and its quest for aesthetic expression. The circle and the square as archetypes of form, as components of nature imply universal validity that defies the dictate of fashion and imparts a sense of permanence. [more...]

  • Christiane Förster & Norman Weber
    2nd April 2002
    Opposites attract, contrasts stimulate - an exhibition of works by the artist couple Christiane Förster and Norman Weber at Vienna’s Galerie Slavik confirms the truth of these proverbs.
    Brooches woven of fine silver wire adorned with multi-coloured gems pay homage to the art of bobbin lace making practiced in past centuries. Things transient, the ephemeral nature of things are the themes explored by Christiane Förster, who just recently received the Danner Honorary Award for the third time. Enamel, gold, glass, silver, synthetic materials are the staff of which she creates her delicate works using sophisticated techniques. [more...]
  • Wolfgang Rahs
    5th March 2002
    Vienna’s Gallery Slavik is showing an extensive exhibition of works by the Austrian artist, Wolfgang Rahs, to mark his fiftieth birthday. The jewellery exhibits relate to the theme of ‘enlightenment’. The works are presented under the exhibition title “The Golden Gate” as an invitation to creative discussion.
    Art books, philosophical writings, fairy tales and psalms become the formal and structural background of the colliers, earrings and brooches, and the pedestals in the showcases. Jewellery becomes a bookmark as Wolfgang Rahs works striking passages from texts as silhouettes into golden earrings. In this way the words are both worn and conjectured. [more...]
  • Anna Heindl
    16th October 2001

    Anna Heindls latest work "Blossoms" is presented at Gallery Slavik. Like all her work, these new floriferous creations by the famous Austrian jewellery artist show her deep love of nature. They promise to be a special delight right now, at the beginning of the cold season.
    Anna Heindl combines a wide variety of different gems to a multifarious play of colours in which blossoms and leaves surrender to her craftsmanship, sometimes transformed into a technical world of golden rings reminding of headlights and aircraft turbines lithely adorning ears and neck and sending out their energy.

  • Francesco Pavan
    8th May 2001

    Francesco Pavan, born in Padua in 1937, is one of the most important jewellery artists worldwide. He graduated from the „Istituto Pietro Selvatico“ and has himself been teaching there since 1961. Well known young artists like Giovanni Corvaja, Stefano Marchetti, Graziano Visintin or Rosa Maria Franzin were his scholars.
    Francesco Pavans latest work shows two quite different groups: his brooches are voluminous but in the same time very light. Shape, material and colour are reduced to a minimum, enamel is used very rarely but gives the strict pieces a certain lightness and vivid touch. [more...]

  • David Walker
    3rd April 2001

David Walkers jewellery explores the notion of space and volume, surface and plane expressed by means of multiple layers and intersecting points. It makes reference to the steel structures of bridges, reinforced concrete buildings, scaffolding and the skeletal framework of aircraft wings. From the logical geometry of such engineered structures they progress towards the organic, sequential layers that make up a CAT scan, or the seismic shockwaves that probe and reveal underground rock formations.

Cool Glamour - The cristalline materials of Swarovski lead to works, that offer their own feelings and associations: on one hand they support the idea of unlimited luxury, although they are fake stones - on the other hand they liberate themselves from traditional luxury- and glamour codes in creating new freedom in the dealing with "glittering".
The jewellery works of Florian Ladstätter are very much connected with textile and cross the borders to fashion. [more...]
