| Summary: |
Der neue estnische Schmuck der Gruppe 'õhuLos' tastet sich selbst und die Welt und das Leben ab. Er ist das Medium der Verständigung ohne Worte, der Ausdruck der Ambivalenz im modernen Lebensgefühl. Die jungen estnischen Schmuckkünstler zeigen, dass gerade der naturnahe und intelligente Schmuck voller Kraft steckt. Dieser Schmuck legt die menschlichen Gefühle des Trägers/ der Trägerin offen. Die Idee dieses Schmucks scheint, so Kadri Mälk, im leisen Stützen seines Trägers/seiner Trägerin sowie im diskreten Hinweis auf seine/ihre Identität zu liegen. Die Künstlergruppe 'õhuLoss' (luftSchloss) aus Estland präsentiert spannende, eigenständige Ausdrucksweisen, die sich von bekannten Formvorstellungen im Schmuck erfrischend unterscheiden. Animal liver, deer legs, sepia and cosmic dust are not usually amongst the preferred materials used by goldsmiths in the creation of pieces of jewellery. This is not the case for the Estonian group of artists ohuLoss, which means 'Castle in the Air'. Its seven members make use of many organic materials in the design of objects which are on the border between applied and visual arts. They create confusing pieces of jewellery which appear to hover in time and space and play with these concepts. The lyrical creations of the seven artists evoke a past era, but their choice of materials is shocking enough to bring the viewer back to the present. The undisputed strength of the work lies in its suggestive power, which puts the viewer under its spell. The new Estonian jewellery of the ohuLoss group probes itself, the world and life. It is a medium for communication without words, expressing the ambivalence of the modern attitude towards life. The young Estonian jewellery artists show that especially intelligent jewellery, close to nature, is very powerful. This jewellery reveals the human feelings of the wearer. The purpose of this jewellery, according to Kadri Malk, lies in the quiet support of its wearers and in the discrete revelation of their identity. Artists featured include Villu Plink, Eve Margus-Villems, Kristiina Laurits, Piret Hirv, Katrin Sipelgas, Tanel Veenre and Kadri Malk -- Book vendor's description. |
