He's a ruthless killer. He eats mice and birds for breakfast. In fact, he likes to toy with them before delivering the final blow. But at home he is the entire family's darling who loves to play with children. Who is this beloved serial killer? There's a good chance that as you're reading this, he is on your couch, having a stretch before starting his second afternoon nap. That's right: it's the cat.
Artist list
Cat Priem
Somewhere on the intersection of art and fashion lies the wondrous world of Cat Priem,Inspiration for Cat's precious pieces may just as likely come from Mother Nature as from a collection of plastic toys. Her style is a flamboyant marriage of maximalism, organic shapes and smooth, slick lines. Cat's world of wonder is populated by cartoonish creatures whose aristocratic roots become apparent in the classical craftsmanship with which the pieces are made. Materials used are silver, gold, pearls, gemstones combined with less common materials.
Cats style is best described as humorous with a dark twist. A unique work from the collection Trophies of a Serial Killer for example, is the piece That's All Folks! This exquisitely detailed silver bird skull has a tiny clasp. Open it and a spring launches a set of brains in brilliant gold.
„Trophies of a Serial Killer” The gruesomely gorgeous showpieces of your family friend.
Cat Priem was interested in the cat’s paradoxical image and developed the „Trophies of a Serial Killer” jewelry series. At first, the pieces in this series seem adorable but when viewed up close they turn out to be the trophies of our purring assassin: bird feet, tiny skulls and other showpieces. Terribly well designed, finished to perfection.
Opening reception: 8th of November 17:00 - 21:00 h.
Opening hours: Wed-Sun 12:00-18:00 h.
