GIAMPAOLO BABETTO (b.1947, Italy)
Babetto’s creations draw inspiration from contemporary art movements like minimalism, kinetic art, and pop art, blending these influences with architectural elements such as Palladio’s villas.
His jewellery is innovative, often modular or movable, resembling small-scale sculptures or architectural works. Gold is his preferred medium for its warmth and malleability, which he pairs with unconventional materials like plastic, glass, or enamel. These combinations, enhanced by vibrant pigments and age-old techniques, define the minimalist geometry that characterises the Padua School.
For Babetto, his art balances rational design with impulsive creation. “I am both rational and impulsive,” he says, crafting each piece with precision while embracing spontaneous passion in its execution. The result is minimalist works stripped of decoration, emphasizing form, structure, and emotional impact.
Since 1967, Babetto’s work has been featured in major collections and exhibitions worldwide, including:
Victoria and Albert Museum, London
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles
Hermitage Museum Foundation, New York
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Schmuckmuseum, Pforzheim
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
and more….
