From April 30th to May 29th, 2022, Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h presents its latest exhibition entitled Contemplation, bringing together the works of seven Japanese artists. The selection offers a glimpse into a world where aesthetic and conceptual research is powerful, poetic and refined.
Originally from Fukuoka, Kaori Juzu moved to Bornholm, Denmark, after completing her apprenticeship with goldsmith Per Suntum in 2008. Her jewellery is the result of constant experimentation with the expressive qualities of enamel. Seductive and contemplative, her pieces never cease to amaze with their rhythmic compositions.

“108 POINTS OF VIEW”
This corpus refers to a significant number of the Buddhism. All over Japan at midnight on New Year’s eve, Buddhist temples ring their bells a total of 108 times to free the human beings from their Kleshas / 108 defilements. Kaori Juzu drew her inspiration from this ritual to create 108 unique miniature wearable artworks (which can be worn as earrings or pins) by conforming to a selfimposed rule. During the lockdown caused by the Corona crisis, she indeed re-used some remaining and left apart materials from previous works, as a way to materialize a purifying process, an artistic path to resilience.
