What happens when crochet meets art? You can see it in this exhibition dedicated to the French artist Niki De Saint Phalle.
Here in Italy, we can admire some of her works inspired by the figures of the major arcana of tarot in the Tarot Garden in Capalbio. However, her most well-known creations are "Les Nanas": large and colorful female sculptures with a somewhat grotesque shape.
Sul Filo dell'Arte will present to Abilmente an interpretation of "Les Nanas" with vibrant knitted and crocheted works. Additionally, with the help of other creative minds, they will showcase a tarot exhibition employing diverse textile techniques that will literally amaze you.

This work presents the beauty of the nature that surrounds us and wants to raise the viewer's awareness of what we risk losing if we continue to underestimate current problems such as wars and climate change.
Water, for example, is fundamental for life, but when it is too much, polluted or scarce it can take away life.
For the first time, artificial intelligence has been used to process the design and it will be possible to touch some parts of it to see the processing work.

Effervescence is a brilliant, sparkling, joyful, electrifying, bubbly, artistic and philosophical theme that is found in a moment, in a voice, in a smile, in a hug, in a thought, and why not, in a love.
Effervescence is nature, it is music, it is poetry, it is emotion, it is everything that our heart suggests to us.
Effervescence invites us to get involved, snooping around our imagination, in search of the most effervescent inspiration there is. And it will be interesting to grasp among the thousand nuances of our fabrics and their textures, those that will make each work a small, wonderful, effervescent masterpiece.

Paper rolling is a very ancient art that creates unique effects and movements through the use of a few strips of paper cut in an artisanal way.
Creating small "tiles" that were joined like a puzzle in order to create these magnificent explosions of colors came from the need to feel united and close. The tiles were made following simple and small rules relating to dimensions and shapes.
