PHILIP NOAKES – SCULPTURAL SILVER

Artist: Philip Noakes
Location: cottesloe
Linton and Kay Galleries are honoured to present Sculptural Silver by highly acclaimed artist and craftsman Philip Noakes. Renowned for his exceptional work as a contemporary jeweller, goldsmith and silversmith, this will be his first solo exhibition at our new gallery space in Cottesloe.

Philip Noakes forms exquisite large objects and vessels from flat sheets of silver and other precious metals, imbuing them with an energy that often makes them appear weightless.

My latest body of work encompasses the classical bowl form, combining traditional skills with modern fabrication techniques and sculptural aesthetics.

Silversmithing remains my passion and I embrace the challenge of designing and creating beautiful objects while keeping abreast of recent technology and innovations. I am particularly drawn to the simplicity, minimalism and refinement of Scandinavian silversmiths and the aesthetic and hand-making skills of the Arts and Crafts movement.

I often find myself reimagining the world I inhabit unconstrained by history, but at the same time, using it to initiate new projects and explore innovative techniques.
