From April 22nd to May 8th, 2016, a selection of jewelry created by the art jeweler Roberta Risolo will be presented at the Charles V Castle in Lecce.
The exhibition is part of the "Itinerario Rosa 2016" event, organized by the Department of Culture, Entertainment, and Tourism of the Municipality of Lecce.
It consists of a collection of jewels, sometimes small sculptures or architectures, that trace the last five years of Roberta Risolo's artistic expression.
Jewels displayed in national and international, solo and group exhibitions, created according to the artist's unique style combining goldsmithing tradition with materials from her land, such as olive wood and Lecce stone, often set like small tesserae and harmoniously integrated into exquisite designs and craftsmanship.
The metal used is common, such as brass or bronze, but enhanced by the craftshmanship technique used and the experimentation involved. The combination of the techniques with the colors of the materials creates a surprising effect; it is no coincidence that a very significant creation is: Box Surprise, a necklace as a "container" of materials and techniques, with a surprise: it can be worn in two ways.
The Aureo bracelet, which encloses the most significant works of artist Gustav Klimt in its five links, is a majestic jewel!
The years spent studying and working in Vicenza have sparked a journey of exploration and enhancement of her territory, a project developed through materials and architectures from the history of Salento, from Otranto to Lecce, including Galatina, expressed through jewelry that is all the more precious for the message it conveys. In addition to the collection of unique pieces, the latest collections will be exhibited too.
At the end of the exhibition, the new Roberta Risolo Art Jewels store will open in Otranto, Porta Terra.
