Collection: Annick Tapenoux
Annick Tapernoux is an artist who is currently based and working in Brussels. It was formed in jewelry design and goldsmithery in Antwerp and holds a Master of Arts from the Royal College of Art in London.
His work is both intuitive and tactile, marked by its connection to nature and its affection for Japan. It aims to create objects that give off a serene presence and a subtle beauty, inviting contemplation and ritual, while promoting an attentive gesture.
The feeling that it aspires to transmit is that of radiance, light, emotion and presence.
"I like to imagine the objects that I create as witnesses of a disappeared civilization. Guardians, sentries of a peaceful and calm world.
The apparently simple shapes appear slowly, as thousands of hammer blows.
The fascination lies in the material and its surface with its apparent simplicity. The form supports the surface, which is worked with skill until its materiality dissolves. "
