Du fond du cœur

Du fond du cœur (From the Bottom of the Heart) is the first Aubusson tapestry by contemporary artist Ron Agam, created in collaboration with Boccara Gallery and handwoven in wool by the renowned Manufacture Pinton in France.

Against a deep ultramarine background, a monumental heart emerges from concentric bands of red, white, and blue. The lines gradually narrow towards a small white heart at the center, creating a striking optical effect that draws the viewer into the composition. This rhythmic interplay of color and geometry reflects Agam’s exploration of movement, depth, and visual perception.

Beyond its geometric precision, the work carries a deeply personal and universal message. The blue, white, and red evoke the French flag, paying tribute to the artist’s birthplace and to the centuries-old weaving tradition of Aubusson. At the same time, the heart expresses love as a universal language, transcending cultures, beliefs, and borders.

The transformation of Agam’s composition into handwoven wool introduces a new tactile dimension to his artistic vocabulary. The density and warmth of the fibers soften the optical intensity while preserving the movement and energy of the original design.

A Signed and Numbered Aubusson Tapestry

Produced in a limited edition of six, Du fond du cœur combines contemporary geometric abstraction with the exceptional craftsmanship of French tapestry weaving.

The tapestry bears Ron Agam’s signature woven into the composition. Its reverse features the Manufacture Pinton label, the weaver’s monogram, and the edition number 1/6, documenting its origin and production.

Ron Agam also personally signed the workshop label of this first example, establishing a direct connection between the artist, the Aubusson weavers, and Boccara Gallery.

This work marks the beginning of a new series of Aubusson tapestries developed through the collaboration between Ron Agam and Boccara Gallery.
