On July 27, 2021, in London, Phillip King passed away.
The next day in Paris, I received at the gallery in a box posted by the artist the previous week,
what would remain his final artistic creations: prototypes of rings and cuffs in painted cardboard and wood.
Since 2016, Phillip and I have gotten into the habit of conversing on the subject of artist jewelry.
He made models, sent me photos of the jewelry in progress worn on his fingers or wrist.
I gave him my opinion and when we were both convinced, he sent me the models to Paris so that the goldsmith could continue the operations under our attentive eyes.
The preciousness of gold or silver entered into dialogue with his volumes of bright colors.
The long-dreamed-of wearable sculpture would finally be placed on the body.
This is how, in 2017, Phillip created his first piece of jewelry for the gallery, the “Liaisons Amourantes” pendant,
whose colorful and intertwined volumes are a summary of his artistic research.
The ELEVATION exhibition – in posthumous tribute to the artist – will present a set of five jewels including three never-seen before pieces: ring, cuff and pendants in silver, 18k yellow gold and colored lacquers.

CHAINS BY JEAN GRISONI
Exhibition from April 26 to June, 2024
Opening on Thursday April 25 from 6 to 8 PM
in presence of the artist
*
Artist-designer and jewelry author, Jean Grisoni will present
at the MiniMasterpiece gallery a new and exceptional set of 16 pieces.
Born in Algeria in 1950, Jean Grisoni draws most of his inspiration from his native Mediterranean. Marked by his roots, his brutalist poetry is charged with the mineral aridity of the coastline, the very particular light of the desert roughness, the discreet and austere sensuality of its inhabitants and the power of the cultural references which immerse each moment.
Polished or rusted steel, driftwood, antique pearls, gold, silver, bronze, Jean Grisoni combines and plays with these raw or precious elements to compose his jewelry, each one unique and made by his hand. Over time, the chain has become the backbone of his wearable sculptures, which he creates and recreates without ever repeating himself.
