Art You've Never Seen
Today I'm back with more amazing textile and fiber artworks and also want to show you something you've never seen (most likely). It requires some attention to see everything and this time I can say, I was able to surprise the gallery curator as well.
She's at the gallery 7 hours per day and she's going through the exhibition each day for a week, to memorize every artwork, which is a wonderful thing as it burns the artworks into your memory forever, but she didn't notice this detail.
Krisztina Molnár - Unmatched
The second I realized what this artwork is made of, I started smiling, even though I was alone at the top level of the gallery. Must be shocking to some, to see such thing, but from artistic point of view, it's a brilliant idea and has a lot to say as well. At least that's how I see it.
I truly hope you noticed it's made of socks. Yes, socks, no matter how shocking it looks or seems. It is called Unmatched and I think it refers to all those unmatched socks that you can have due to losing one (maybe during washing) or one worn out. The other meaning could be what you see on the photo, which is a boat floating on the sea or some kind of water.
Most likely it is not easy to paint on such surfaces, as the texture of those socks differ a lot from a plain and firm canvas, but as the artwork shows, it's possible.
Now tell me, have you seen such an artwork?
They say there's no limit when it comes to art and you get the proof each time you visit an exhibition. Here you had several proofs, if it was needed at all.
Mana Bucur - Rupture
Not my kind of art and would definitely not hang it on my wall, but I appreciate the idea and the execution.
Erna Judith Berger Moise - Plant Signs
Should have taken some close up photos to show you the crocheted edge and the leaves made of fabric. It's a good idea, to illustrate plants and leaves.
Erna Judith Berger Moise & Kata Merkler - Journal For Mom
Seeing two artists working on a single artwork is not very common, but it seems this was created by two ladies. I love that frame with the rusty hinge, it makes everything so vintage.
Maria Gliga - The Magic Of The Square
This is your riddle for today. I'm kind of confused here, so I'll let you solve this mystery for me, then we discuss it.
Anamaria Pascu - Red
It reminds me of night life 😬
Daniel Gorban - Routes
Those buttons can be used in a lot of ways, and creating art is one of them.
Gabriella Gora Kovács - The Source Of The Waters
This was quite big, I had to take several steps back, to be able to capture it all. It's unique and interesting, but I'm afraid it's too abstract for my taste.
Hermina Csata - Spiritually Speaking
For me, this artwork is the winner today. Looks like it's leather and sophisticated embroidery. Love it.
Ok, this is it for today. Let me know what you think, if you've ever seen anything similar and which one is your favorite, if you have one.

Hello !
I'm here to critique the art ! ha ha ... the world, according to Jacey.
It's true, it is fun to see all kinds of art, even if you would never hang it in your house.
I normally go through, look and read and then go back and "inspect". At first glance, I totally missed the socks! As soon as I read and moved back up, the sock on the far left was immediately recognizable and the of course the rest fell into place on close-up inspection. That is really fun and I like the name and since I love whimsical, it would probably be my fav of these.
I didn't miss that the hinged frame was backed by monogrammed tea towels that hang out the bottom and later another that has a table runner background, also hanging out the bottom. Cute idea especially if the embroidered towels were family heirloom... well... as long as nobody dried their hands on it as the walked past...LOL !!! Quite creative though with the hinged frame and all.
I am not sure about the mystery squares. The only thing that came to me right away was like the squares in an English Garden with the paths going in-between and the different plants or the such in each square. That may be way off, but with the nuts(I think) and the big round on the bottom right having a nest or tiny grapevine wreath in it and maybe an apple shaped charm on the left? Not sure, but being green and having nature in it, that is my guess.
RED! ... is bacon and toast.
Hello and welcome as I always enjoy your opinion and critique :)
You too? This is surprising as when I looked at the work, the socks were the first thing I noticed. Maybe we are wired differently? Not that it makes a difference, it's just interesting.
Yes, the tea towels, those were a really nice addition to the work, but didn't want to mention everything, I thought I'll let the readers notice it :)
Interesting take on the squares. Do you know what I see there? A nest, an egg and makes you think of birds nesting.
This is funny 😃
Thank you @jlinaresp!
What a brilliant piece of art made from socks!!! And I actually saw a similar piece about a year ago – it was made from knickers!!! It was a wonderful fractal and I was amazed when I got closer
You know what? In the puzzle, I can see bird’s nests... it’s beautiful!
The art made from buttons is really original; I liked that too, but I agree with you, the last piece is my favourite; it’s masterful!!! How beautiful!
You and me both and was wondering if I'm just imagining it, or it may be about nests.
That’s the thing about art: I think everyone interprets it differently, and nests are full of life, that’s wonderful!😍
