Beautiful arts are interconnected though different in
form. Dunhuang Grottoes indicate that paintings do not necessarily exist in
Chinese art paper and the Stele Forest in Xi’an, China means calligraphy can also be written on
stone steles.
Then
what will happen when the art of painting is combined with the art of carpet?
This exhibition of carpets adapted from my paintings can be likened to a solo musical performance that strives to re-interpret a concerto. The result is a variation on the original score, where the artist, aided by 8 Nepalese technicians’ six months of weaving, creates an inspired piece, both carpet and painting, now woven as one.
The painting will be reworked, re-interpreted and re-invented by traditional Tibetan – Nepali carpet-weavers. The painting will undergo an aesthetic transformation: From art object observed coldly at an aloof distance, to the warmth of what can be touched and is tactile. If a painting is cold, a carpet is warm, and the painting- transformed-to-carpet is no longer purely aesthetic. The distance between viewer and art object is reduced, moving closer is inevitable, and the soft touch of the carpet encourages human contact.
