Biography
Adam Paxon (born 1972) is a leading figure in the field of contemporary acrylic jewellery and in 2007 was joint winner of the Jerwood Applied Arts Prize for Jewellery. His original and complex work is both technically innovative and visually exciting. Of the extraordinary way in which colour permeates his jewellery he has written 'By laminating and forming, carving and refining, I blend colours to form my own palette, seeking subtleties of newly enriched hues' (Jerwood Applied Arts Prize 2007 Jewellery, Catalogue page 50). The lustrous forms he creates - with their pools of clear acrylic, their embedded mirrors and their layers of wild psychedelic colour - achieve surprising optical effects as the light is captured by or projected through the glowing spheres.
