Bernhard Schobinger (born 18 January 1946) is a Swiss contemporary artist jeweler.
[1] In the 1980s, he spent periods of time in Berlin, London, and New York City.
Often playing with contrasts, Schobinger's single pieces are made of material which varies greatly from recycled objects and pieces inherited from his mother to precious metals and gemstones.
[5] As the art historian Roger Fayet put it, "His works are based not on 'neither-nor' but rather on 'both... and', on juxtaposition and interpolation.
[6]Schobinger has been invited as a visiting lecturer at universities and academies, including the Royal College of Art in London; Hiko Mizuno College of Jewelry in Tokyo; the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island; the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam; and the Haute Ecole d'Arts Appliqués in Geneva.
