Maryline Fontenelle is a young artist exhibiting her jewelry collection in Paris for the first time.A student of Gilles Jonemann, she has assimilated techniques off the beaten track. Her jewelry is akin to sculpture. My work," she says, "revolves around the landscape and the body.Her "pebble stones" are inspired by the "dream stones" that have been revered in China since ancient times, and by her encounter with the pebbles that dot the paths she walks.
She molds these pebbles with resin paste and creates pendants that are light and sensual to the touch. The colors of landscapes and seasons obtained with high-quality inks give them a unique vibration in the light. A polyurethane varnish protects them. They are attached to the body with silver, oxidized steel or guitar string chains. She has also recently entered the world of metal: silver, copper or zinc. These are "constellations", disks of the same format and material, pigments. Some of them are lined with a second disc, which, through holes, produces a sparkling effect. The first can be pigment-coated and patinated, while the second can be oxidized and then gilded with 22kt leaf.What's particularly astonishing and beautiful is the subtlety of the colors she manages to achieve
variations of red, blue, green, mottled white, etc. Zinc and silver bead necklaces, chokers, rings and earrings complete her collection.Maryline uses neither gold nor precious stones, as she expresses herself in the poetic universe she has chosen for herself.
Marilyne Fontenelle has been exhibited at the gallery, notably for a solo show in 2013.
Marilyne Fontenelle by Naïla de Monbrison
Maryline Fontenelle is a young artist presenting her jewelry collection for the first time in Paris. A student of **Gilles Jonemann**, she has mastered techniques off the beaten path. Her jewelry approaches the realm of sculpture.
"My work," she says, "revolves around landscape and the body."
Her "pebble stones" are inspired by the "dream stones," which have been revered in China since ancient times, as well as by her encounters with the small stones scattered along the paths of her walks. She molds these pebble stones using resin clay to create pendants that are light and sensually tactile. The colors, drawn from landscapes and seasons and achieved with high-quality inks, give each piece a unique vibrancy in the light. A polyurethane varnish protects them. They are worn on the body with chains made of silver, oxidized steel, or guitar string.
More recently, she has explored working with metals silver, copper, and zinc. These creations, called "constellations," are disks of uniform size and material, with pigments applied. Some are doubled with a second disk, which, through perforations, creates a sparkling effect. The first disk may be covered with pigments and patinated, while the second is oxidized and then gilded with 22kt gold leaf. What is particularly striking and beautiful is the subtlety of the colors she achieves variations of red, blue, green, speckled white, and more. Necklaces of zinc and silver beads, chokers, rings, and earrings complete her collection. Maryline does not use gold or precious stones, as she expresses herself within the poetic universe she has chosen.
