Last year in April I visited a very cool textile and fiber exhibition, that made me want to create my own textile of fiber work, but have never had the time to start. Today I remembered I still have a few photos left from the exhibition, so I though I'd show you something cool. To my surprise, more and more Hive users tell me they like these exhibitions and I'm hoping some of you can start going to exhibitions and also start posting about them. Would be cool to see some art from wherever you are.
Ecaterina Marghidan - Dwarf Star
Funny how we see things. I have a routine when it comes to exhibitions. First I look at the artwork, allow myself a minute to think about what I see and for an idea. Then I look at the title, if there's any. That's the moment when I realize how wrong I was or the title answers my question, or explains what I didn't understand. And sometimes the title confuses me even more and I move on without knowing what I saw. That's life when it comes to art.
Here at first glance I thought I'm seeing the sun, but that was not the case.
Ecaterina Marghidean - Gray Dwarf
Somewhat similar to the first one, but yet very different.
Zoe Vida Porumb - Interference
You can see how these geometrical forms intersect. I remember I was looking at this piece, trying to figure out how it was made, but till this day I don't now, so it'll remain a mystery. It's nice though.
Enikő Bíró Kálmán - The Silk Road
This artwork wasn't 100% fiber. The pyramid was made of something solid and then covered with a white fabric I believe.
Sarolta Puskai - Zigzag Structures
At first glance I was a bit confused about this artwork as didn't know what I was looking at. To me, it qualified as origami, although I don't think it was. However, if you have a close look, you can see it's not a simple work and you need a lot of imagination, vision and practice as well, to create such a work.
Gabriella Gora Kovács - Sadness
This one made me thing of what I'm seeing and could not decide. Even after 10 months, I still don't know if I'm right, but regardless, it's a nice composition.
Could this be an eye? Or is it just me wanting to see an eye? What so you think? In any case, I love the colors.
Alexandra Mihaela Codrean - Childish
This was a super cool artwork in my opinion. It may be childish, but looks great. Those vivid colors are lovely. I can see it in a kid's room, making the wall more funny.
Radu Natalita Boeti - Composition
Maybe many of you don't know if the artist is a female or a male as this is a Romanian name and besides, I bet most of the people think only women are good at fiber and textile art, but the artist who created this artwork is a man. I must say, hats off in front of him as what you see here is a number of different techniques in one piece. You really need some talent to create such artwork.
Pan Yimiao - Geometry
Pan Yimiao - Parody
Pan Yimiao - Ceres
There were three artworks here, from the same artist. All three were green and kind of the same pattern layered shades.
Adelina Ungureanu - Meadow
Adelina Ungureanu - Grapes
Adelina Ungureanu - Peaches
Three embroideries from the same artist, but not the usual embroidery. I liked all three and I don't know which one I would choose. Most likely the one in the middle, which is the grapes.
Stefania Diaconu - Decorative Game
There were not many weaving artworks at the exhibition. This was a neat one for sure. I like how the colors look on the black background.
Maria Sandu - Composition With Dots
A different artist with a very cool weaving. I love how those dots are arranged and that two of them are not flat. Plus the orange color adds to the beauty of it.
Richard Marinesucu - Tapestry
An unusual patter, but then again, what is usual, right? Plus who wants usual? I don't, so this is interesting and nice too :)
Natalia Udrea Simona - Letter To An Unknown Person
The artwork itself is not surprising on its own, but when you look at the title, it gets interesting. Then you look at it again and start to notice the irregular rows and the black top, which can mean something special. It's a very interesting and mysterious concept.
Ioana Maier - Holiness
The theme is not new, we've seen crossed painted, carved, sculpted, no surprise there. But to use lace gloves to create a cross is new. I love it how the artist combined different crocheted lace shapes. Very original.
Ioana Maier - Grail
The Holy Grail is the cup from which Jesus Christ drank during the last supper. In common parlance, the Grail signifies a unique, distant goal. source
What i love about fiber and textile art is that it doesn't have to be so precise and it is not, as you can see. that's the beauty of it. Therefore I think it's easier to create something, but you don't know for sure, till you try it out.
Cristina Mocanu - Mermaid
This is it for today. Now let's see who likes this kind of art :)
