The Museu del Disseny, Barcelona is organizing a retrospective exhibition dedicated to Joaquim Capdevila, celebrating his 60-year career as a jeweler and goldsmith.

Capdevila is one of the key figures of the nova joia movement in Catalonia who renewed the idea of jewellery as a means of artistic expression. His creations, unique items, go well beyond the traditional concept of jewellery, not only by dispensing with precious metals and applying new materials – plastic, hide, fabric, stones, wood, rubber, copper–but also by using gold and silver jointly with acrylic paint or Japanese lacquer to provide them with great chromatic uniqueness.

He has experimented with every type of material and the uniqueness of hos work lies in the application of color to his pieces through painting.

Admission to the exhibit is free of charge.
