Felix Lindner

Artist list

The strip cartoonists of the mid-twentieth century were masters in the art of abstract presentation of actions and emotions. Their style of drawing is a source of inspiration for Felix Lindner. Which does not imply that his jewellery simply recounts familiar stories. In Lindner’s work shapes and colours are always clearly defined – as in the picture language of comic strips – but the meaning is rarely unequivocal. He creates suggestive images that are intriguing, not easily surrendering their secrets. His jewellery offers the viewer the freedom to make personal associations.

Felix Lindner’s style of working is characterized by the scrupulous treatment of materials and how to interconnect them. He will often take an existing object, sought or found, as starting point for a new work. His technical ingenuity, however, is always directed towards the desired result, and the unique backing of each brooch is only known to the person wearing it. It is a secret asset, like the personal significance a piece of jewellery has for its owner.
