| Galerie Rob Koudijs (Netherlands) | |
Thirty years of commitment to contemporary jewellery led to the establishment of Galerie Rob Koudijs. A 100 square metres refuge in the centre of the city of Amsterdam where the latest developments in the jewellery field are on show.
The gallery works with a group of designers who have moved beyond mere decoration and investment towards autonomous artistic expression. They range from just graduated artists to already internationally acclaimed jewellery makers.
It’s our aim to make people grasp the intentions of an artist and understand the sometimes unfamiliar, but always gratifiying experience of buying and wearing contemporary jewellery.

RUUDT PETERS
'Corpus' (between body and spirit)
Flat, amorphous shapes in subdued shades of dark-grey. Ruudt Peters’ new jewellery appears to be austere and abstract until the eye is drawn to the occasional sharp edges, or intentionally modelled surfaces. Peters is always on a quest for spirituality in his work as his earlier work has demonstrated. One line of approach he did not consider in the past was Christianity. Was it too predictable a choice, or was it too close for comfort in the artist’s view?
From the abundance of motifs Peters chose what lies at the heart of Christianity: Jesus as the saviour of mankind. For a thousand years artists have searched for an apt representation of the crucifixion: from the simplicity of Romanesque depictions to an increasingly explicit image of a virtually naked man. The body of the Christ figure becomes increasingly pronounced: muscles starting to develop, the abdomen curving, the loincloth losing its innocence.
