Kimiaki Kageyama Jewelry Exhibition in Tainan: Fragments of Time

Japanese Master Goldsmith Kimiaki Kageyama had a solo exhibition: STILL FLOWERS  at Gallery S O LONDON in 2017. As Kimiaki Kageyama was a visiting scholar in Tainan National University of the Arts before; this October, he came back to Tainan to host an exhibition in Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Centre to share his creative ideas and art works with his students and local people. 

Living in ふじさん Fujisan, Kimiaki Kageyama 影山公章, a famous Japanese professor and modern artist, is good at making the best of natural materials to create jewelry accessories. His unique skill is featured by designing and making of women accessories by the combination of fragmentary painting pieces falling from shrines with jewelry such as 18K gold and pearls.

He believes that jewelry is the ‘body of ornament’ by such a way we communicate with other people, the society and nature. Therefore, the jewelry works as a switchboard that can express the inner self of a person and the world outside. 

The theme of the exhibition is ‘Jewelry in which the Spirit of God Dwells’, which expresses that a person’s life is so fragile in the natural life circulation, and the human only play a very tiny role in such as an infinite time flow. The designer wishes to seize the moment by reflecting the eternity on a small piece of work. 

Moreover, he also injects humanness and sentiments into artistic work; for example, the original idea of the series of work: ‘Rose’ to show his appreciation and friendship to his nice neighbour Miss 純子.

因Kimiaki Kageyama之前是台南國立藝術大學的訪問學者;今年10月，他回到台南，在總爺藝文中心舉辦展覽，與學生和當地人分享他的創意和藝術作品。

居住在富士山的Kimiaki Kageyama影山公章，是日本著名教授和現代藝術家，善長用天然材料製作珠寶配飾。他的獨特技藝是通過從神龕中落下的碎片與18K金和珍珠等珠寶相結合，設計和製作女性配飾.

他認為珠寶是一種透過我們與其他人，社會和自然界溝通的方式的“裝飾身體的物品”。因此，珠寶作為一個切換開關，可以表達一個人的內在自我和外面的世界。

這次展覽的主題是“神之靈留駐之珠寶”，表達了一個人的生命在自然生命循環中是如此脆弱，人類只在無限的時間流動中扮演著非常微小的角色。設計師期望透過在一個小小的作品上來反映出永恆來抓住當下時機。

此外，他還將人性和情感注入藝術作品中;例如，這一'玫瑰'系列作品的最初想法就是向他的好鄰居純子小姐展示他的感謝和情誼。
