Disembodied Body Parts

Exploring the boundaries between Art and Art Jewellery.

Have you ever heard of Art Jewellery or Contemporary Jewellery?

This new movement redefines jewelry as wearable sculptures, with their concept.

So what is the difference with art, except the fact that it is wearable and related to the body?

The use of body pieces to decorate the bodies helps us to appreciate the joy that comes from the acceptance of our 'Thingness', as the contemporary artist of the' 70s Paul Thek, defined it after his visit to the Cappuccini catacombs in Palermo.

The 'Thingness' collection deals with themes similar to those of my sculptures, and I often find myself with those who visit my Atelier to discuss what the difference is if the concept is the same.

For the special occasion of the Venice Night of Art, I decided to present sculptures and jewellery dealing with human objectivity, mortality in an ironic in an almost pop manner.

For the Disembodied Body Parts exhibition my artworks Vanitas, Tomb Sculpture and a Preview of my work MADE IN ITALY.

The Exhibition opening took place inside the former Butcher’s store at Sunset Yogurt, Venice, on the 22nd of June 2019.
