Listen up artists, here is a brilliant idea for all of your discarded dropsheets! As featured in @wallpapermag! "They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. For Martyn Thompson that phrase rings true.
The New York-based artist and force behind Martyn Thompson Studio has found another use for his discarded drop-cloths and rags, transforming them into beautiful woven tapestries and fabrics that can be applied to everything from wall hangings to lamp shades.
Aptly named ‘The Accidental Expressionist’, the collection of jacquard-woven fabrics and murals made its debut at The Future Perfect in New York last week.
Often overlooked details and the force of the artist’s hand were the focus of the collection, as Pollack-esque splatters encouraged viewers to closely examine each textile to see the layering of colours and stains that went into it. For each piece, the incidental marks left by the artist from past projects have been collected and photographed, elevated and given new meaning as they were transformed from by-product to end product." #artist #artinspo #interiors #contemporaryart #martynthompson #thefutureperfect #newyork #textiles #painterly
