PARADISE REGAINED

Artist featured: Tanel Veenre


Absolutely loved this exhibition! :) Another great example of the endless possibilities and choices you have for an exhibition space and how to display your work. 
Paradise Regained was in what appeared to be an old antique shop along a side street, filled with brass objects, old doors and bits and bobs from a unique era. And displayed in the back room on the old double glass and brass doors are all these intriguing shapes/forms and colours of Veenre's work. The over all feel created is one of romanticism, exotic and contemporary. The jewellery invites a visceral response on wanting to touch the works, they look other-worldly, almost animal like, an intrigue of the sensory. It was like being transported to another time walking through the shop, then to be hit by these colourful glimpses of the future, you experienced a journey.
