Illuminations - Earth to Jewel

Illuminations - Earth to Jewel

Martin Bell
0/5 ( ratings)
In "Illuminations - Earth to Jewel", Crevoshay sets out to take us on a tour of beautiful minerals, the gems we craft from them, and her amazing artistic jewels composed with this wonderful palette. Thus, this exhibition pairs exceptional natural mineral specimens from the collection of the Musée de Minéralogie with the exquisite jewels of Paula Crevoshay, juxtaposing the greatest art of nature and the vision of one of its finest artistic interpreters. Paula Crevoshay, as a painter, has long been fascinated by the idea of painting with the light itself rather than relying on light reflected from the paint on a two dimensional canvas. Working with gemstones, Crevoshay's artistic medium is the "tangible light" seen within the gems themselves. She is fascinated by the incredible profusion of minerals available to the modern artist to work with and has made it a goal to set as many different varieties as possible in her lifetime. The creation of this book coincides with the “Illuminations – Earth to Jewel” exhibition at the    Musée de Minéralogie of the Paris School of Mines, MINES ParisTech, - November 9th 2016 - February 1st 2017.
