Norman Weber, Germany

Galleri Hnoss is proud to present the German jewellery artist Norman Weber.
In the exhibition at Hnoss we show jewellery from three different series: House & Garten, Porträt och Schaustücke.

House & Garten originates from old photographs depicting Norman Webers childhood home. Ordinary images of the familys house and garden are translated into digital prints, later joined together with silver and steel into brooches and pendants.

The next collection Portrait is also rooted in the artist's childhood where photos of old toys from the 70s interact with other materials. The combination of figurative elements with flat surfaces and more three-dimensional structures often reappear in Norman Weber's work.

In the third series Schaustücke the jewellery challenge the viewer's sense of what is real or fiction. Seemingly genuine pearls or stones may in fact be artificial structures. Jewellery seduces and parade. It's about effect for effects´s sake.

Norman Webers smycken finns bland annat representerade i samlingarna på Victoria & Albert Museum i London, American Craft Museum i New York och på Nationalmuseum i Stockholm. På galleri Hnoss kommer vi att visa smycken från tre olika serier: House & Garten, Porträt och Schaustücke.

Ursprunget till House & Garten är en serie fotografier från Norman Webers barndomshem. Vardagliga bilder på familjens hus och trädgård förs som digitala tryck samman med silver och stål till broscher och hängen.

Liksom i House & Garten har nästa kollektion Porträt sin grund i konstnärens barndom. Här har han låtit foton på gamla leksaker från 70-talet samverka med andra material. Kombinationen av figurativa element med plana ytor och mer tredimensionella konstruktioner återkommer ofta i Norman Webers arbeten.

I den tredje serien Schaustücke utmanar smyckena betraktarens sinne för vad som är verklighet eller fiktion. Det som till synes är äkta pärlor eller sten kan i själva verket vara artificiella strukturer. Smyckena förför och paraderar. Det handlar om effekt för effektens skull.

Birgit Laken, The Netherlands

Birgit Lakens aesthetics is characterised by pure, strong lines. She works with themes and subjects that moves her in different ways. This approach result in jewellery that is both strict to its appearance but also playful and humorous.

Birgit lakens formspråk kännetecknas av rena, enkla linjer. Hon arbetar med teman som berör henne på olika sätt, vilket resulterar i smycken som är både strama till sitt yttre men också lekfulla och humoristiska.

13/3–4/4

Bas Bouman, The Netherlands

Bas Bouman investigate the meaning of the word value in relation to jewellery, especially the value of a material. Instead of the obvious financial value he takes an interest in the cultural, religious or mythological meanings of a material.

Lin Cheung, England

Papaver Argentum at Galleri Hnoss- an exhibition by Lin Cheung

Lin Cheungs relation to jewellery is above all conceptual. Her work refers often to jewellery as a subject and to the fundamental reasons why people wear and possesses jewellery. She investigates what lies behind the mere decorative objects and the relationship between humans and their items.

Papaver Argentum is one of Cheungs recent projects and refer to the poppy as a symbol of peace. The objects that in shape reminds of poppy flowers are casted clay impressions, taken from a damaged wall in V & A museum in London. The wall was damaged during the blitz of the second world war and has been left as a memorial.
