New Piece Featured in Local Show Titled “21 Aspects” at 5G North Gallery

Jack Boglioli featured in 21 Aspects exhibition

5G North Gallery will be hosting an art show entitled “21 Aspects”. The show will feature the work of twenty one local artists. It will also include one piece from Jack Boglioli Jewelry™. The other artists will be showing work in many mediums including painting, printmaking, fiber arts and sculpture.

“Abyss” – The Featured Necklace

The necklace will be on display from the opening reception Friday night April 21st, for one week, to Friday April 28th. The reception will be from 6:00 – 8:00 pm, after which the exhibit can be viewed by appointment for the rest of it’s duration. The piece is brand new and it has yet to be seen by anyone except my Insider Followers, in a special online unveiling.

I made a couple breakthroughs in the creation of this piece, which I am very happy about. The first is the continuous woven setting of the accent stones all the way around the circumference of the pendant. It has no starting or finishing point, which serves to frame the central stone seamlessly. This has not yet been done before with this type of setting, and I think it is the defining visual element of the piece. The other new aspect brought into this piece is a custom made chain. Every link of this chain is individually made by hand and connected together. This makes for a piece that is one-of-a-kind, even regarding the smallest details.

In conclusion, there will be many amazing artists present at this show and many of these artists have never shown their work publicly. You will be sure to see many things you have not seen before. Furthermore, I will be there from 6:00 – 8:00 pm, if you are interested in speaking with me directly about the new piece.

CNM Writes About Jack Boglioli Jewelry™

Central New Mexico Community College writes about Jack Boglioli

Recently, CNM otherwise known as Central New Mexico Community College, decided to run a story about myself and my work. One of their journalists contacted me and conducted an interview. But before I link to that, I’ll explain why I decided to study fine arts and jewelry in a more formal way, at the local college.

Studying Fine Arts and Jewelry at CNM

Towards the end of 2015 I decided to enroll in the fall semester at CNM majoring in fine arts. I wanted to get some formal training in art and jewelry, to bring my abilities to the next level. The result is that the quality of my designs and finished pieces has risen up to a higher level. I am more able to make the image I see in my mind come out as a reality. I also have much more of a foundation of resources to draw from regarding art. This allows me to continually push the boundaries of what I can create. Consequently, I am more able to outdo myself on a regular basis.

The Article

After conducting the interview, the journalist from CNM wrote a great article expounding upon my background and what I am doing now as an artist. Follow the link below to read what she wrote:
