Collect 2012 – Nati per riflettere / Born to Reflect

Giovanni Corvaja
italy Con Giovanni Corvaja si sa che le sorprese non finiscono mai. Questa volta il mago alchimista ci tira fuori lo smalto su platino. Pare che sia qualcosa di tecnicamente, a dir poco, insolito. Il risultato dell’incontro tra questo metallo e il vetro è un effetto riflettente a specchio poiché – se ho capito bene – i due elementi non si “uniscono” perfettamente come invece accade allo smalto sull’oro. Nella foto ci sono orecchini e gemelli in primo piano.
united kingdom When it comes to Giovanni Corvaja one knows that surprises never end. This time the magician alchemist creates enamel on platinum. It seems to be an unusual technique. The result of this metal meeting glass has the reflective quality of a mirror because – if I understand it correctly – the two elements do not “unite” perfectly as it happens with enamel on gold. In the photo there are earrings and cuff links in close up.
