Dazzling jewelry

After the Moscow World Fine Art Fair 2008 in May, Wallace Chan, international art jewelry maestro from China, is showcasing his nearly 30 pieces of selected works created in the past decade at the China State Guesthouse.

The exhibition will highlight unique jewelry pieces created specially for the show and those that signal a departure from the designer's aesthetic philosophy. Beijing residents will see, for the first time, breathtaking works with a post-modern feel and exquisite oriental subtlety. Each piece is an explosion of colors united in impossible geometric forms that somehow exude a serenity.

"I don't want to create jewelry that just features a lot of expensive stones set in an appealing way," Chan says. "I want to create light and movement, juxtapose living things with still objects, or place them in a dreamy, myth-like world. I want dramatic pieces, jewelry that never ceases to amaze the beholder. I strive for fluidity, movement, changing light."
