Karl Fritsch or the ring as a sophisticated weapon. What I find really fascinating, and one of the reasons why it's so interesting to make jewelery, is the moment of recognition when something that comes across as cute and pretty, has on Second glimpse into almost obscene grotesque. I would say this quality probably works best in jewelery, where politeness and cold-blooded anger can clash mercilessly into one another . We present Karl's latest works designed specially for Hannah Gallery: gold & silver seal rings as apainter palette, colors of the gems ... diamonds, zirconias, carnelians, garnets ... materials must be sick to be shaped in these variations of barocky and geometric shapes ... engraved messages in the shore.
