EXPO ‘Cromatica’ – Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Santiago (Chile) – 8 Sept.-25 Oct. 2012

CROMÁTICA

During September and part of Octuber, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Santiagode Chile, will be showing Expo Cromática, from Joya Brava Association

Cromatica, puts together a selection of contemporary jewellery inspired in color, as a starting point. Jewellers are challenged to think about the language of a single colour. As a result, this exhibition shows a composition of fourty pieces, that talk in a variety of voices, presenting ideas, thoughts, and critical views.
For this exhibition, each artist was given a specifical colour, that would be the starting piont for the pieces.

For this task I decided to continue with my research on picoroco shells and intervene one with the colour I was given, combined with oranje coloured resin and pearls. By means of these simple interventions that highlight the particularieties of the volume, the shell appears as a new object, detached from it's original nature. This is the result:

 Cromatica  Artists: Amenábar Paulina, Antúnez Guillermina, Ávila Soledad, Berguño Virginia, Betancourt Claudia (Walka), Bugueiro Marcela, Céspedes Analya, Constanza Soto, De La Fuente Pamela, Del Fierro Paulina, Durandin Pascal, Fernández Loreto, Fissore Gabriela, Garretón Valentina, González Mariela, Harsanyi Gabriela, Hernandez Nicolás, Honorato Marcos, Hornauer Carolina, Joyce Marin, Labra Pilar, Latorre Paulina, Martínez Valeria, Mendez Carolina, Díaz Mónica, Moreira Camilo, Muñoz Massiel,

Whe've been out the last month, travelling to San Francisco, New York and soon we'll be hitting London, visting and exhibiting at different shows and fairs. So little time and so much to do. For now, here's a description on the brand in english.
