The jewellery artist Konrad Mehus has held an important position in Norwegian art since the end of the 1960s. His objects significantly stretch our notion of what jewellery can be: it is not merely adornment, but rather a means of communication. Using silver as a material and jewellery as a medium, Mehus tells stories with social relevance and political wit. Konrad Mehus works are characterised by humour and warmth, but also by irony and taking an objective stance.
