The Penrose Ring, part of Paris Kain’s Dominon collection, features a rare meteorite set into a silver platinum alloy. Exclusively available on Carpenters Workshop Jewellery in a limited edition of 30, the ring relates to the work of physicist Roger Penrose and the theoretical navigation of black holes.
Kain’s artistic style, which he describes as "Techno Surrealism," blends ancient and modern elements. His choice of materials, such as meteorites, reflects his fascination with the journey through time and space, inspired by childhood visits to the Natural History Museum. Influenced by artists like Gustave Moreau and his mother, who worked as an artist under the name ‘Capucine’, his work reaches an otherworldly space, the process guided by the materials he uses - each stone dictating the final form. He envisions his work evolving into living spaces, bringing the museum experience home. Inspired by philosophical concepts like Abraxas - the Gnostic deity of coexist duality, the more you learn the less you know, his designs embody the duality of existence.
Artist
Paris Kain
Paris Kain is a multimedia artist and jewellery designer born and raised in New York City. As his father was an acclaimed inventor and his mother a master enamelist, the fine arts seemed a natural life path. After spending the night inside the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza, Kain was immediately drawn to ancient history and sacred geometry, an interest that has taken him around the globe, inspiring much of his work.
