Bainz Jewlz is a major retrospective exhibition survey of the significant career of Australian artist-jeweller Robert Baines. Baines is an internationally recognised senior artist and leading voice into the field of contemporary craft.
Baines’ multifaceted practice includes pioneering scholarship and noteworthy contributions to Australian jewellery and object-making. His research in archaeometallurgy both grounds his practice and enables his experimentation, connecting his work to ancient histories while also providing a platform to discuss contemporary issues.
Drawing from the philosophically rich, the blatantly pop and the historically obscure, Baines’ works are strikingly original and technically brilliant. This exhibition presents a comprehensive collection of significant works and research that showcases the diversity, depth and daring of his innovative practice.
