The jubilee exhibition by metal artist Urve Küttner, titled "From Femme Fatale to Feminism," showcases her imaginative works, including significant installations and jewelry pieces.
On February 11, Urve Küttner, a noted metal artist, opened her jubilee exhibition titled "From Femme Fatale to Feminism" in a gallery setting. This exhibition features a rich array of Küttner's imaginative and free-spirited creations, highlighting her artistic journey and the evolution of her themes over the decades. Guests are invited to experience her works that draw inspiration from historic artistic dialogues, particularly those involving the art of Paul Delvaux, through jewelry installations that bear symbolic meanings.
Among the highlights of the exhibition are Küttner's monumental compositions, which reference a new depiction of women crafted by Yves Saint Laurent. This reflective showcase includes a comprehensive selection of her past conceptual works alongside fresh reinterpretations of her messages, illustrating her growth and adaptability as an artist. The display also provides a thoughtful commentary on femininity and feminist perspectives through the years, prompting viewers to engage with the evolution of female identity in art.
Küttner expresses her desire to revisit her body of work from the 1990s while inviting interpretations of her art in a new light, informed by her experiences and wisdom gained over the years. The exhibition not only serves as a celebration of her past achievements but also offers a platform for questioning and understanding the shifts in societal perspectives on femininity and gender representation. The significant variety of jewelry showcased both separately and in meaningful installations further enhances the narrative of the exhibition, making it a notable event in the Estonian art scene.
