Mix Of Textile Art
The first half of the year was pretty crazy for me and not necessarily because I was too busy (I was to some extent), but the bigger problem was that I had a lot of problems with my fat and there were things holding me up. Those problems have been solved (I'd like to think so) and now I can focus on trading and also on my creative projects in my spare time, when the market is sh*t (like today).
I'm behind with posting the wonderful textile art photos I took months ago, which is a shame honestly as I know some of you like these and are inspired as well, so let's see what I have for you today.
Cinderella
This was a very nice piece from the solo exhibition of Ilona Sajgó. I have posted about this exhibition here and here. If you have missed these posts, I recommend you to check them out, especially if you like textile art. The work of this artist are exceptional and can honestly say, one of my most favorites.
There are a few things to note here. One is that the whole work is made of colored lace. Different colors put together to get Cinderella. This denoted delicacy in a way, or at least that's what I think. The second thing that I need to note here is how the artist depicted Cinderella. The legs and the body are ok you can say, even though it's not a regular human body (not that a regular human body would be the goal here) to some extent, but the head is not there, or maybe the face, but what lets you thin it's the head is the long hair. It's something unique and I've never seen before.
Ancient Creek
This is too regular for me, too symmetrical and can't really see why it was named ancient creek. I'm wondering if you see more than I see. let me know.
Erzsébet Bíró Török - Bird Song
We're changing style here as these artworks are from the annual textile exhibition and are not from the same artist. This is a wall cloth, hand woven and I love how the artist designed some kind of trees, or bushes and the bird.
Quite often I am trying to figure out what I would have done in the artist's place, having only the title and taking it from there. I think I'd better not want to know and neither want you :D.
Livia Ramona Petrescu - Green 1. 2., 3.
This was a mix of felt and other fabric, a set of 3 together.
There are three works here, but not all from the same artist. Most likely you can figure out on your own, how many artists we're talking about and which artworks belonging to which artist, if not, here it is, from left to right:
1. Mária Nádudvary - Autumn's Anatomy 2
2. Ana-Maria Rugescu - From The Drone
3. Mária Nádudvary - Autumn's Anatomy 1
The two Autumn's Anatomy works are nice and maybe they would have a different effect on me, but flaking From The Drone makes them less important for me.
From The Drone is a fantastic work and won me over the minute I saw it.
If you have ever flown by airplane, you know this is what the ground looks like from up there. Land plots look this small and forest of lakes look like some of the elements used by the artist.
I don't know about you, but I love it. I love looking down before the plain is landing and admire the picturesque view and I love this artwork too. Simple, but understandable. If I were to choose, this one would be one of my choices.
My question to the artist would be, if she had a photo taken from an actual, real place, or this is the creation of her imagination. I guess we'll never know. Not that it changes anything.

This is actually canvas, but not painted. I suppose it's print, but I'm not sure. It's interesting, but not really my style.

Same style, different layout as the photos in the bottom row are upside down.
This is it for the day, I hope you have some favorites here.

Very nice, I like them all, especially the lace woman.
I haven't started with the textiles yet, but I will eventually!
I haven't started anything either, but we still have time.
Yes, all the time in the world!
Exactly!
Hermosa dama de la obra de arte
Cinderella is strange, you can see the body headless, but if you look at it in different way, the whole body seems a sort of big head, kinda strange
Ancient Creek : i don't like it either, doesn't tell me anything
From The Drone: that's the best for me, right ahead of cinderella, the composition, the fantasy put on it, it's just beautiful to see
Looks like we have similar taste and think similarly 😄
Haha this time I was like "let's see if we have a different favorite" and then no 🤣
Wow, make it a competition? I like the challenge 😆
Why not? You could not state your favorites on next post and let's see what I pick 😜
Would be hard as I need to share what I think and like 😜
Hmm you could leave a couple of photos without an opinion inviting the reader to pick 🤔
yes, that works
They are all wonderful, but my choice of favorite will have to be Bird Song. I am fond of tapestry and this one is really well done. I especially love how the bird was rendered, just a shadow of the undercarriage makes the whole body appear. Without that shadow, you would see no bird. Very good technique, I think.
Interesting pick. I like it, but it is not my favorite. Nevertheless, I love what you see in it and how you described it.
Beautiful textile, when you look at the textile out of interest but appreciating the hardwork of the creator of the textile a lot of effort in there.. thanks for sharing
It is hard work to create something unique and beautiful too. But worth it.
Textile art is so beautiful. I'm really getting into it. Thanks for sharing.
It is beautiful indeed.
It doesn't matter that these works were exhibited a long time ago, I still enjoy them very much, especially when you show details like that beautiful work Del dron, espreciosa. Now I'll tell you that my favourite is the first one, how beautiful, even though it seems to have no head, perhaps it is looking in a direction and from a point of view that the artist preferred not to depict but to leave the detail of the hair. Beautiful!!!
The first one is an excellent choice. I loved almost all the works of the artist and at some point I even considered buying one, but these were big pieces and definitely too big for my available space.
When the pieces are very large, the problem is space; I have the same issue. For now, I have my own paintings decorating my home, but in the future, I may have other types of artwork.
These were around 2 meter long pieces, so you can imagine, you need an entire wall as otherwise the whole space would look very crowded. I had my phone on my hand, to call the artist and make a deal, but then I gave up.
If you have your own art on your walls, I'm curious, did you take into consideration your available space? Or you just created what you liked and eventually it ended up on your wall?
Honestly, I first thought about what I liked, since they weren't large paintings, but when I lived in Argentina, I made huge paintings and there I did take into account the available space first. I remember I made one that measured 2 x 1 metres, like a kind of mural.
