Marlows’ Dreams
Art Rug Projects in collaboration with the internationally renowned artist Jannis Varelas, have created five hand woven rugs in silk and wool, exhibited at the Breeder Gallery.
Varelas creates a new body of work, where new means and materials like brass and carpet weaving coexist with techniques familiar to the artist’s practice, like drawing.
For the first time, Jannis Varelas creates five rugs [four unique works and one limited edition] handwoven with silk and wool, which function as reflections of the psychological landscapes. First such attempt to express his inspirations and thoughts through a completely new media, focuses on the concept of reflection; of mental reflection and of the psychological landscape. The works are an attempt to explore the inner human topography, but also the concept of insight, as a separate dimension.
For the artist, both the material of the rugs and the production process of an image though knots, transfers in a metaphysical way an inner process or working to the real space and time.
