Illusionary Space
Christoph Straube, Isabella Hund Gallery

Brooch, stainless steel, enamel

Christoph Straube

The object-like character of these pieces is based on their simple geometric shapes in relation to surface and colour and on their materiality. The reinterpretation of classical enamel painting leads to a seeming three-dimensionality through shading and colouring.

The objects are located in an illusionary space which is perceived even more when worn, but only exists in the viewer’s perception.
