Samuel Guillen “Recent Jewelry”
Davis & Langdale Company
This event has ended.
This is SAMUEL GUILLÉN’s first exhibition with Davis & Langdale Company. GUILLÉN, born in 1977 in Caracas, Venezuela, is a jeweler who trained with Klaus Bürgel, Susan Sloan, and Ursi Galletti.
Living and working in New York, GUILLÉN conceives, designs, and manually produces all his pieces in silver, using hollow construction and various oxidation techniques. Interested in classic modern jewelry, GUILLÉN cites primitive and ancient silverwork as well as contemporary urban landscape as inspirations.
His most recent works echo his everyday experience of the cityscape: the entanglement of basic metallic elements- rough steel, visible welding junctures, scaffolding, tubing, fencing in construction sites, subways, and bridges. GUILLÉN transforms these visual presences into motifs for his jewelry.
