Immerse yourself in contemporary tapestry through Atelier 3’s striking reinterpretation of Pierre Alechinsky’s vivid painting, Le Paon de Binje.
Founded in 1972 by three dedicated artisans, Atelier 3 transcends the boundaries of traditional weaving workshops. They revive overlooked techniques and collaborate with a diverse group of artists—including painters such as Alechinsky, sculptors, and photographers—to infuse tapestry with fresh creative perspectives.
Instead of relying on rigid, numbered patterns, Atelier 3 embraces artistic intuition. By weaving directly from the front of the loom, they engage in a dynamic dialogue with the original artwork, capturing Alechinsky’s expressive forms and bold colors in a uniquely woven creation.
This artisanal approach distinctly contrasts with factory-produced tapestries. At Atelier 3, each thread is handled like an individual brushstroke, thoughtfully placed to reflect the artist’s vision. The resulting tapestry, Le Paon de Binje, is a vibrant reimagining, showcasing the enduring beauty and depth of artistic collaboration.
