HOMAGE TO NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE
Curated by Associazione Sul filo dell'Arte
Sponsor: Generalfix
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.
