Happy New Year!! I am starting the New Year with a cheer to the Italo/French artist Faust Cardinali who, with enthusiasm and outstanding creativity, created boldly new works for my gallery in London. Here is the impressive Triade Bianca a ring made of silver, old hand carved ivory, 18kt yellow gold and rubies. Faust says : ““« l’objet trouvé » – the hand carved piece of ivory was a liturgical accessory from the Atelier Chéret / Paris. In 1991 I had a studio in that historic space. 30 years later I bought the piece from Claude Chéret and immediately thought of a sculpture – a ring: the bull symbolises power and fecundity, the eagle the authority, virility, the government, victory and courage, Our Lady... we know. For me, the White Triad is a sculpture – like a sort of arch (of triumph?) where inside the heart, embossed in gold, pulsates and three drops of ruby guarantee its life. A kind of tree, where light filters through, ivory is like flesh or fabric. A ring to wear in more than special ceremonies.” Check out the website for more information on the artist. Thank you Faust 🌷 #faustcardinali #wearableart #objecttrouvé #newlife #archoftriumph #smallsculpturetowear #unique #elisabettaciprianigallery
