"Daniel Brush, An Edifying Journey: Gold, Aluminum, Steel” Exhibition


In this exhibition, L’ÉCOLE Asia Pacific, School of Jewelry Arts invites visitors to join an unexpected
journey through the febrile imagination and thought-provoking artistry of American artist Daniel Brush (1947-2022). This exhibition of jewels, objects, and sculptures, unlike any seen before, made from the 1970s to the 2020s follows Brush’s path from gold through steel and aluminum, charting his eclectic inspirations and preoccupations, through history and time and across cultures and civilisations. Showcasing the work of Daniel Brush for the first time in Asia, An Edifying Journey crosses boundaries between art, jewels, sculpture, philosophy and poetry, challenging our understanding of the role and meaning of the jewel today.

The exhibition is free admission, with guided tours available in English, Cantonese or Mandarin. Register online now!
