Yet mindless
The spring comes again."

ALEX SEPKUS 
The Lithuanian-born artist moved to the U.S. in 1988.  Alex is based in New York, where he creates design masterpieces that are unparalleled in the jewelry world. Often inspired by literature, Alex is known for using vibrant colored gemstones, natural colored diamonds, and intricate details that breathe life and character into each piece.

 "I try to make people recall their memories of beautiful things - some real, like that old crumbling stone pavement or a field of grass, but mostly imagined or read about in a book of fairy tales," says world-renowned goldsmith and jeweler, Alex. 

 

 

  

 


POP UP GALLERY - SHOW PREVIEW 

KIFF SLEMMONS

PAPER WORK FROM OAXACA

About the artist and work:  Kiff Slemmons is one of the most well respected metalsmiths working in the U.S. today.  She developed her incredible paper jewelry collection in response to being asked to create a program for the newly renovated art center, which housed a former industrial paper mill,  in Oaxaca, Mexico  and wanted to utilize locally hand-made papers. Our Pop Up Gallery will be showing pieces from Kiff's recent exhibitions at Chicago Cultural Center, Museum of Art and Design, NYC, Doug Dawson Gallery, Chicago and several of her various solo shows.    

PISTACHIOS POP UP GALLERY:  For a limited time only, Pistachios will have additional exhibition space located in the adjoining storefront to the west.  We will be using the space to showcase in-depth work by some of our favorite artists.
