Pure Chaos
PURE CHAOS: A sophisticated yet anarchical jewel
Reaching into the heart of 2010 aesthetics, developing, Pure Chaos introduces a new romanticism, with its free-falling, tumbling abundance. It represents a search for the unknown and expresses the radical change in world order and our sense of self. New beauty and modern baroque comes from a proliferation of jumbled upcycled elements, from chaotic draperies, random imperfections in stones and metals. At the heart of chaos is a relic, an amulet, a fragment of the past, symbol of the ever-spiraling march of time. This is the chaos of the clash of cultures, and consumers experience a return to a cerebral complexity, with a mania for layers, for collecting. Rather than a specific colour range, this is about all or nothing, shades of monochrome or riotous multi-colours. Chaos is reflected in materials and techniques, in spun metal, distorted metallic finishes, unpredictable molten metals. Key concepts include explosion, nervousness, bric a brac, frightening, energy, crash, split, disorganization, diffraction, collage. Pandora jewellery from Denmark mixes silver and wood with ENLIGHTENED - Swarovski Elements in various colours. In Greece Fanourakis creates a madly chaotic necklace, spiraling out of control, clipped with fearsome barbed wire motifs.
