2009.
aasta sügisel avas Tõnis Malkov Hopi galeriis oma esimese isikunäituse „Mõnikord tahaksin teha ehteid inimestele“.
Näitusel esitleti leitud esemete ja väärismetallide ainulaadset kogu, mis andis ülevaate kunstniku ebakonventsionaalsest lähenemisest ehtedisainile.
In autumn 2009, Tõnis Malkov opened his first solo exhibition “Sometimes I’d like to make jewellery for people” at the Hop Gallery. The exhibition showcased a unique collection of found objects and precious metals, which gave an insight into the artist’s unconventional approach to jewellery design.
Hundreds of material tests and details were displayed on a table in the centre of the exhibition hall, which, when combined into jewellery on the adjacent screen, formed endlessly different combinations.
Breaking away from traditional materials and techniques, the artist also used found objects from the street as the basis for her creations. These ordinary objects, imbued with the energy and history of the city, were transformed by the addition of precious metals. The juxtaposition of the everyday and the luxurious created a striking visual contrast that invited contemplation and curiosity.
The exhibition provided a behind-the-scenes look at the artist’s creative process. Visitors were given a glimpse into Malkov’s studio, revealing a chaotic but inspiring environment full of unfinished projects and experimental works. This intimate encounter offered a deeper understanding of the artist’s thought process and the journey behind each work.
By embracing the unexpected and exploring the possibilities of found objects, the artist challenged traditional notions of jewellery design. The exhibition testified to the artist’s ability to transform ordinary materials into extraordinary works of art, inviting viewers to rethink the value and beauty of everyday objects.
