This selection explores the way in which artists of different generations, now at the forefront of Dutch design jewellery, use their artistic language to reveal various aspects of figurative representation and, by so doing, break away from the strict Minimalist culture of their precursors.
Although always controlled by deeply structural inclinations, their imagination touches symbolic themes and, often, even ancient religious theories, as is the case with Ruud Peters, one of the most original contemporary artists. Iris Eichenberg participates in the transformist attitude with references to rites and family stories, using imaginative transpositions wavering between the conceptual and the Surreal. Felieke van der Leest marvellously interprets tales emphasising their eerie cruelty with innocent, naïve traditional figures tainted by the reductive elaboration of comics and Hollywood cartoons.
