Imagine that you are filtering through the trees at sunrise at dawn when the light yellow morning light filters, slowly highlighted petals and the scene for bird sank. As you move, the light escapes and changes and disappear details around other forms. For Élise peroiThis sensation offers a starting point for elegant textile sculptures.
On graceful wooden frames, the French artist etheric, layered screens who occur to dreamy portals for nature. “The brightness of the woven paintings of Peroi is such that we can feel ourselves outside to see the sky brighten up, gently the sky against our skin,” says Dr. Rebecca Birrell in an essay that accompanies the Solo exhibition, For thirst flowers, bee Carvalho Park.
The artist uses the long tradition of European tapestriesThey were used for both decoration and to keep houses and churches isolated. Sticked by hand, the works can reach architectural proportions and contain highly detailed figurative and narrative scenes. Peroi differs from usual associations with tapestries by removing the pieces from the wall and creating independent, self -sufficient structures.
She also emphasizes a sort of opening of the textile itself. The interactions between Warp and impact are loose, delicate and irregular. And the depth of each piece is determined by the wooden framework, of which details often bump out in soft but deliberate corners.
The sculptures of peroi seem to change subtly while walking around and merging internal and external perspectives. The artist investigates relationships between emptiness, form, perception and the built environment, hints on recognizable forms such as flowers and foliage against muted diamond -shaped geometric patterns or open spaces in the tissue. And the frames serve both as a display devices and looms – the process and the finished piece merged in one.
For thirsty flowers Continues until May 23 in Brooklyn. See more about the artist website.
