ART BAUBLES by TRINA TYGRETT @ Shalini Ganendra Fine Art, KL

SHALINI GANENDRA FINE ART, further to the gallery’s commitment to feature the best of contemporary art and design, will show gorgeous, wearable works of  art by Venetian glass bead artist,  Trina Tygrett, from December 6 – 31, 2010. Tygrett will be in KL for the show and her work will be available through SGFA  thereafter.

Tygrett creates a myriad of hand crafted delights with  Murano glass, which she brings together in a range of unique jewelry.  Her jewelry has been presented at the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), The Maeght Fondation (France) and now, in SE Asia through SGFA.

From 1996 to 2001, she worked Murano glass for Giorgio Nason’s (her husband) jewelry collection. The collection has been sold at numerous stores and museums, including Barney’s (NY), Joyce’s (HK), the Chicago Art Institute, the Dahesh Museum (NY), Harvey Nichols (UK), Liberty’s (UK) and the Guy Laroche spring/summer collection 2007. The Nason family has been working with glass in Murano since 1602, and in Venice since the 12th Century.

Her works incorporate handmade glass beads with other materials including, Italian metal mesh and silver, semi-precious stones, stainless steel hoops and silk cords.
