The exhibition "Apollo to Apollo, THE FUTURE MEETS THE PAST IN THE PRESENT" is an exciting journey into art and the essence of beauty in the flow of time. We go back 2300 years into the PAST to the ancient Western civilizations (Greek, Celt, Roman) to discover a fascinating miniature art form whose impressive details and preservation remain a mystery to this day. Among some of these ancient miniature artworks, we find, not only the origin and birth of the popular heart symbol, but also many representions of the love for the ocean and the dolphins. A very important piece of art in our Apollo to Apollo Jewellery Collection has been inspired by those symbols: Oceanlove; it will be presented for the first time on 3 May 2024.
The journey continues: "Apollo to Apollo" takes us back to the last four hundred years of our art history and illustrates how ancient miniature art has inspired many famous contemporary artists and philosophers. "Apollo to Apollo" explores the revitalisation of ancient art in our PRESENT with the extraordinary works of Rama King Nash and other modern artists, and stands for the protection of our values, the beauty and the art for our FUTURE. The exhibition features paintings, drawings, sculptures, jewellery, books, art prints and ancient miniature artworks that take us on a fascinating journey through time.
Udstillingen "Apollo to Apollo, THE FUTURE MEETS THE PAST IN THE PRESENT" er en spændende rejse ind i kunsten og skønhedens essens i tidens flow. Vi går 2300 år tilbage til FORTIDEN til de antikke vestlige civilisationer (græske, keltiske, romerske) for at opdage en fascinerende miniaturekunstform, hvis imponerende detaljer og bevarelse forbliver et mysterium den dag i dag. Blandt nogle af disse antikke miniaturekunstværker finder vi ikke kun oprindelsen og fødslen af det populære hjertesymbol, men også mange symboler på kærligheden til havet og delfinerne. Et meget vigtigt kunstværk i vores Apollo to Apollo smykkekollektion er blevet inspireret af disse symboler: Oceanlove; den præsenteres første gang den 3. maj 2024.
Rejsen fortsætter: "Apollo to Apollo" tager os tilbage til de sidste fire hundrede år af vores kunsthistorie og illustrerer, hvordan antik miniaturekunst har inspireret mange kendte samtidskunstnere og filosoffer. "Apollo to Apollo" udforsker revitaliseringen af antik kunst i vores NUTID med de ekstraordinære værker af Rama King Nash og andre moderne kunstnere, og står for beskyttelsen af vores værdier, skønheden og kunsten for vores FREMTID. Udstillingen byder på malerier, tegninger, skulpturer, smykker, bøger, kunsttryk og antikke miniaturekunstværker, der tager os med på en fascinerende rejse gennem tiden.
The mind-blowing and mysterious life of an art form more than 2300 years ago
The hunt for the divine and eternal beauty
"The book can easily be enjoyed for the art alone since almost every piece included is a true masterpiece of the immortal art form that was ancient art. I do however urge the readers to return to its pages frequently and open their heart to the profound messages from the past that are so vital to our collective future."
