Handgetuftete Wolle118321
The wool tapestry Mart’an G’rl takes ist cue from the figure of the Martian Girl in the 1996 science-fiction comedy Mars Attacks! by cult director Tim Burton. Caroline Achaintre, a German-French artist who has lived in London for many years, reinterprets characters, faces, masks, and fantastical forms drawn from popular culture, horror, sci-fi, Central European carnival and Mardi Gras traditions, and museum presentations of ethnological collections in her works made of wool, clay, and watercolors. The engagement with psychoanalysis and a critical reflection on colonialism are inherent aspects of her artistic practice. Achaintre applies traditional art techniques such as tapestry, watercolor, and ceramics in unconventional ways—the direct and spontaneous use of materials is essential. The artist describes tufting—originally a process for mechanically producing textile surfaces—as “painting with wool.”Arts and crafts1237283187299Belvedere 21image/jpegFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/123230/fullabstract, non-representational arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-87299/manifest
