Mari Ishikawa

Giappone

 

The world we see is only a part of the entire reality which is composed of many worlds existing simultaneously, side by side.

Mari Ishikawa sees a parallel world through her everyday life and visualizes them as jewelry, giving us the opportunity to recognize the many moments we miss.

"If you don't try to see it, you won't see it; it's only when you try that you begin to see it.”

To design jewellery means a never ending fascination.

To find new forms for the combination of color and material, to invent at the same time elegant and yet provocative solutions, is the great challenge in this process.

To achieve an optimal technical solution for this aesthetic aim in each individual piece I consider therefore as the core of my work.

Anatomy of decisions

From 23/06/2023 to 25/07/2023 at the "Beita – House of Art and the City" in Jerusalem in Israel will be held the exhibition of contemporary jewelry the Anatomy of decisions, conceived and curated by our partner Ariel Lavian.

 

Lavian says: "This exhibition delves into the complex and deeply personal relationship between individuals and their bodies, emphasizing the fundamental right to autonomy and self-determination about the choices they make regarding it.

This principle recognizes that each person has the right to make decisions about their body without external interference or judgment. It encompasses a wide range of personal choices, including but not limited to reproductive health, medical procedures, physical appearance, and lifestyle choices."

Ornella Pandolfi

Italia

 

Di formazione ceramista, diplomata a Faenza nel 2004, la passione per il dettaglio prosegue nello studio del gioiello, come miniatura dalle possibilità infinite.
La mia ricerca personale quotidiana, con l’ascolto dell’intuizione, mi porta verso l’osservazione della natura, intesa anche come connessione con l’Universo, come fonte di espansione e felicità.
L’ispirazione arriva in apparenza improvvisa, ma nasce da impressioni sedimentate. Esploro il significato del gioiello come design che trasformando la materia, possa portare serenità, arte e renderci partecipi della bellezza.
Il gioiello è un elemento che ha la caratteristica particolare di creare un dialogo emozionale con chi lo indossa ed esprimere un po’ della sua verità personale.
Il mio lavoro interamente fatto a mano è il risultato di tecniche antiche come fusione a cera persa e al banchetto con un intenso lavoro di modellazione e micro scultura.
I metalli sono l’argento e il bronzo con pietre naturali scelte una per una, per la loro unicità, bellezza e sentimento che trasmettono, che seleziono da tutto il mondo favorendo piccole imprese familiari.
Uso anche altri materiali come legno, micro stoffe lavorati al mio telaio manuale, ceramica e porcellana, sempre foggiati e decorati da me. Realizzo pezzi unici data la completa artigianalità del mio lavoro.

Da sempre appassionata di gioielli, il mio primo percorso è stato imparare a costruirli, in bottega, a crearli "ad Personam" sempre rispettando i canoni classici; la natura mia fonte di ispirazione, le emozioni che portano a rappresentare un oggetto da custodire ogni giorno addosso,come simbolo di appartennza ma anche come oggetto apotropaico.

#Tarot

Dal 15 Aprile al 27 Maggio 2023 è in programma presso la Galerie LA Joaillerie par Mazlo a Parigi in Francia la mostra di gioielli contemporanei #Tarot a cura di Céline Robin.

#Tarot /Tarocchi: questo il titolo sfida scelto dalla galleria LA joaillerie par Mazlo per la sua prossima mostra collettiva in due sessioni, la cui prima parte si aprirà appunto il 15 aprile, 2023.

Un modo per racchiudere in una formula lapidaria questo consistente fenomeno di appropriazione di questa fonte secolare di immagini e simboli da parte degli artisti e più in generale della cultura popolare, nondimeno oggi attraverso i social network.
In passato, Dali, Niki de Saint Phalle, Brauner, Breton, Ernst, Masson hanno già attinto alla fonte dei Tarocchi per far parlare questo “io”, evocato da Italo Calvino nel suo Castello dei destini incrociati allorchè scrive: "... Ci è sembrato che con questa carta volesse dire ‘io’ e che si stesse preparando a raccontarci la sua storia." Ancora oggi, molti pittori, artisti visivi, designer e architetti seguono questo prestigioso retaggio.

Combinando gioielleria contemporanea e progetto, #Tarot è una mostra interdisciplinare articolata attorno ai Tarocchi appositamente disegnati dall’autore orafo Robert Mazlo, per portare alla luce la geometria nascosta di queste immagini.
La presentazione di questo lavoro grafico, che avrà luogo a settembre, è preceduto dalla presentazione della sua serie di gioielli basata sui 22 arcani maggiori: "Usati tradizionalmente come strumento di predizione del futuro, i Tarocchi hanno avuto origine in Oriente, da dove furono importati dai Crociati durante il Medioevo. Sono stati gli artisti del Rinascimento italiano che per primi ne hanno fissato l'immaginario per come lo conosciamo oggi. Da allora, queste figure enigmatiche hanno colonizzato la nostra immaginazione. Il formato nomade della carta, un medium popolare per eccellenza, ha largamente contribuito alla loro diffusione iconografica che continua a pervadere la produzione artistica contemporanea. “È questo il Grand Imagier che ho voluto omaggiare in questo corpo di 22 "sculture da indossare", liberamente ispirate agli arcani maggiori dei Tarocchi” [R.Mazlo].

Per l'occasione l’artista orafo ha coinvolto oltre 40 artisti internazionali di gioielli contemporanei, invitandoli a interpretare una carta assegnata a sorte. La individuazione degli artisti è stata fatta in accordo con i valori sostenuti dalla galleria LA joaillerie par Mazlo e il Robert Mazlo Endowment Fund for Art and Contemporary Jewellery: ogni partecipante deve essere sia lo spirito che la mano dietro a un’opera unica non riproducibile. Questa selezione eclettica intende onorare i talenti emergenti, gli artisti affermati e i maestri indiscussi, siano essi rappresentativi del genere narrativo o dell’approccio minimalista.

Ana Calbucci

Brasile

 

Ana Calbucci production is always linked to who she was - a woman, from South America, with European ancestors, who lives in one of the largest cities of the world, in a country with enormous social and racial inequalities. This is the country of the largest equatorial rainforest in Earth. Forest that is being devastated under our eyes.
So as a Brazilian poet says, she is a true “walking metamorphosis” in this cauldron of complexities that she lives. Sometimes her work is very intimate and very personal, and sometimes it overflows in a social and ecological questioning inherent to this universe that she belongs to.

Ji Young Kim

S.Korea

 

Artist Ji Young Kim has been steadily exploring the form of kinetic elements through the "Back of the Moon" exhibition name over the past few years. Answering the question of her formative start, she said she paid attention to the use of Korean words as 'full' or 'filling' to instead of ‘wear’ when it describing the act of putting on jewelry.

"I thought this was an important revelation of inner consciousness. Jewelry not only fills what can be seen, but it may also be something important that fills up the void in the heart. I completed the form of the jewelry with a side that is not visible and little pieces that move. By revealing the hidden makes another kind of fulfillment. "

The departure of these narratives is in the form of unpredictable front and back in 2018, indistinguishable front and back in 2019, interior and exterior hidden movements in 2020, the emptiness in 2021, and it is published as a "cup" that fills and expands the story as the 'space' between the lines of extinction and creation in 2022.

-Invisible Device-
When do invisible devices become meaningful? An object that looks like a simple sculpture shows its identity with a human's touch and prepares to meet the body.
