Ute Decker - Creating Waves - a solo show at Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery : London
sensuous undulations characterize the new waves series created for this exhibition. expressing the beauty of nature through abstractions, ute decker is arresting time to take a closer look at the movement of waves, usually so fleeting.
elisabetta cipriani presents a series of new sensuous and powerful wearable sculptures by the "master of the sculptural jewel" ute decker.
ute decker sculpts movement into powerful minimalist forms for her first solo show at the gallery.
from the gentle and calming waves of her neck piece “ocean” in fairtrade gold to powerful forces of nature erupting in her arm sculpture “wild waters”, they curve sensuously around the arm and neck.
“i sculpt each piece individually in my london studio. even within the community of a limited-edition series, each piece is as individual and unique as its wearer.”
