Johannes Kuhnen is a pioneer of the anodising and colouring process of aluminium and its application in a studio based practice. He combines traditional working methods with industrial materials and processes. The works are recognisable through his dynamic use of colour and form and his attention to detail.
Johannes Kuhnen has had a significant influence on the contemporary Australian gold and silversmithing scene through his teaching at the School of Art, Australian National University, Canberra where he has fostered a resurgence in gold and silversmithing and initiated a number of travelling exhibitions.
