Perroquet Tapestries

Collections

For this series, Marcel Zelmanovitch chose tapestry and the traditional Aubusson knot. The composition of each model suggests a comparison with the feathers of parrots.Arising from a collection of Parrot rug paintings designed in the mid 1990s these tapestries indicate a shift toward greater freedom in Marcel Zelmanovitch’s creative process. Here the design, guided as it is by planes, lines and curves of varying depth, is a framework able to breathe life into bold, clashing colours.

An exhibition event furthering a body of work begun in the 1990s

Just like Gauguin who saw within Oriental rugs a kind of exotic freedom expressed through the use of vibrant colour, Marcel Zelmanovitch assimilates chromatic intensity with the expression of a kind of pure freedom the likes of which can only be rendered in a textile form. This is why his non-conformism in the use of unusual nuances and in the choice of intensities is at the heart of his creative process. These creations pursue a body of work started with the Perroquet rugs in the 90s, but this time around the three pieces presented bring more vivid nuances and greater contrasts: acid green, very bright oranges as well as the pure yellow and red which become the very expression of a lack of restraint and delight.
