Description |
Jewellery maker Paul Derrez designed his first pieces in 1975, while interning as part of his goldsmith training at the Schoonhoven Vocational School in the Netherlands. In 1976, he opened Galerie Ra, and has since produced a large body of jewellery and objects, presented in this book as a virtually complete survey of his work. Colourful, whimsical, and idiosyncratic in form, the objects Derrez creates are a reflection of the craftsman and artist himself. Filled with illustrations and personal explanations, the book includes both his acclaimed and less well-known pieces, offering insight into his underlying interests and motives, as well as the relationship of his work to the spirit of the times. |
