Surface and Substance
Surface and Substance 14.10.11 - 12.11.11 |
Over the last few years there has been a significant revival of interest in enamel with a number of contemporary jewellers developing new ways of working with enamel that enable them to create exciting and innovative work.
This exhibition showcases the work of thirty jewellers of international standing who, through a varied set of practices, take enamel well beyond its traditional boundaries.
The title, Surface and substance, has been chosen to emphasize that while this is clearly an exhibition that focuses on the use of vitreous enamel - the surface - of equal importance is the substance that underpins the work on display; the thinking and the research, which along with the obvious material knowledge and skill, is evident in the striking and individual pieces on show.
