Cagnes-sur-Mer, which has the ‘Ville Métiers d'Art’ label, has been promoting contemporary jewellery for many years, welcoming a number of internationally renowned French and foreign artists.
To mark the end of the year, Cagnes-sur-Mer is presenting the Faune, flore & métaphores exhibition as part of the town's collection.
Nature is a rich source of inspiration for artists. Contemporary jewellery, like other art forms, also bears witness to the importance of this influence through figurative or symbolic creations evoking animals and natural elements.
With this theme in mind, the Musée du Bijou contemporain invites the public to explore or rediscover the city's collection of nearly 300 pieces.
The selection highlights works depicting fauna, flora and even natural landscapes, which have been carefully studied beforehand. Some designers have chosen to remain faithful to nature, reproducing the exact shapes, textures and details of the original models.
Others have chosen to break away from convention, creating minimalist jewellery or exploring more imaginative avenues. By reinterpreting natural forms, they have created hybrid organisms and structures thanks to the perfect technical mastery of their art. In this way, they unite reality and imagination.
