Pairing textures. Tapestry & Glass 6+

On September 18, at 19:00, the Belyaevo gallery of the Moscow Exhibition Halls Association will host the opening of the exhibition “Combining textures. Tapestry and Glass ”, which will feature works by leading Moscow decorative artists, as well as projects by students of the British Higher School of Design.

The project focuses on new points of contact between tapestry and art glass, the field of interaction between materials that are not similar in nature, their characters and texture. The contrasts of surfaces - smooth, cold glass and handmade, warm tapestry - create a complex play of artistic images in a single space. This game is born in the color and light of glass works, rhythm, texture of tapestry works. Along with classical forms of expression, artists strive for new methods of art synthesis, for fresh spatial solutions.

The exhibition presents works that seem to cancel the usual knowledge about the properties of matter and its shape: flat mirror glass becomes rough and bumpy, as if “woven” on a machine, and a tapestry that is fuzzy to the touch becomes smooth and “fluid”.

The works of leading Moscow decorative artists complement the experimental projects of the British School of Design students, who are studying the natural methods of fabric production, are concerned about how to mend, patch, patches, give new life to old objects or try to work on a collection of digital prints and textile samples. predict future trends in surface and clothing design.

The exhibition will include guided tours (26 September 14:00, 16 October 18:00) and creative workshops (3 October 14:00, 10 October 14:00).
