Jewellery and Drawing by Doris Betz

Artist list

Doris Betz

In jewellery objects and drawings she fathoms the depths of the potential of the line and the possibilities of the material silver, which she contorts, turns, rolls and turns again, finally lacquering, oxidising or patinating with a flame. Unforeseen, fragile-looking, poetic formations emerge from overlaps, knots and layers, which render visible the relationship to a vegetal language of natural forms - a source of inspiration for the artist.

Betz, recipient of the Herbert Hofmann Prize and the Bavarian State Prize, once studied in the goldsmith-class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She now presents a selection of her jewellery works together with drawings mainly from 2009 to 2016 for the very first time.
