Small tapestry by Mikuláš Brukner 01 pletený vlněný gobelín / tapiserie, limitovaná edice, vyrobeno v Česku

Product detailed description

A limited edition of tapestries created in collaboration with the designer Mikuláš Brukner.

The motifs of this unique collection take as their subject the timeless graphic work of Jožka Baruch, a native of Valašské Meziříčí. His visual language has a clear hand that has not lost its modernity even sixty years after the artist’s death. The strong line of the woodcuts is the basic element running through the whole collection.

Baruch drew inspiration from the surrounding nature, everyday life, and folk themes, which is strongly reflected in this collaboration as well. One interesting detail is that one of the motifs used for the upholstery is his historic design of a cradle for the important art association Artěl.

The artist’s view:

“While designing this project, it was important to me to keep elements of Baruch’s hand and, through contemporary craft, bring them up to date for the 21st century. Thanks to a close tie with the graphic artist’s family, I was able to study his work very thoroughly, including a visit to the Moravian Tapestry Manufactory, for which he designed motifs for carpets and tapestries. My work also refers to this part of his life; with respect for the weavers’ handwork, I carry his motifs into knitted tapestries and so bring traditional craft into dialogue with contemporary means.”
