The winner of the JPLUS Emerging Talent Award 2020 is Hannah Oatman, who graduated at Rhode Island School of Design, where she has studied under Professor Seth Papac.
The Prize consists of a professional jeweller profile at klimt02.net and an exhibition at Hannah Gallery Barcelona by Klimt02.
Klimt02 team decided to award Hannah Oatman. What we see in Hannah Oatman works is the a questioning of how art jewelry can be perceived in a society based on fast consumerism society, in an era dominated by the image where critical contents lose relevance in favour of a superficial look the products that the market uses to bombard us daily.
At the same time we discover on her pieces art and design references such as the DIY culture, Memphis group Designs or Pop Art. The objective to bring art works to the mass by using any contemporary tool in our digital age, image, social media, packaging, catching the eye colors, shapes to create a desirable object, beautiful, attractive, useful, wearable, collectible… also loaded with content and critical attitude to our compulsive behaviour.
Her use of the shapes, materials, and constructive technics, all simple but effective, is also very appealing to us and the result are wearable well-constructed catchy works which raise up in us a desire of collecting.
Seh Papac Guiding Teacher at the school states:
Hannah Oatman’s thesis work investigates relationships between art, product, advertising, packaging, collecting, interaction, and choice. Each multi-layered series introduces an exchange where the wearer and viewer can; choose to contemplate their relationship to consumer culture or/and simply enjoy participating. Tandem to this broader question, the work reflects on the insular nature of contemporary art jewelry and introduces strategies that can increase its appeal and access to a wider audience.
Hannah Oatman states:
Art, design, consumer culture, and advertising are no longer separate entities, but vague categories with porous borders. These days, a successful object has to live its life as we do: with one foot on the ground and the other in an ever-expanding digital space. It has to photograph well, seduce your followers, and communicate its meaning in 140 characters or less (your artist statement is tl;dr).
