Painting as a starting point to transpose its gesture and texture into wool.

In this collection, wool becomes pigment and tuft becomes gesture. La Pintura's designs are imbued with an anarchic energy that animates the surface, evoking something of Soulages in the material and light trapped in the fibers, and of Richter and Schneider in the way the gesture is allowed to transcend intention. What is remarkable here is that you can feel the hand of the artist twice. First in the spontaneous and impulsive design. Then in the meticulous work of the artisans of Bhadohi: two pile heights that sculpt the relief and give each piece the depth of a pictorial surface. It's like touching a painting in a museum. For once, it's not forbidden.
