Discover the world of contemporary tapestry through Atelier 3’s striking interpretation of Pierre Alechinsky’s dynamic painting, Spire.
Founded in 1972 by three dedicated artisans, Atelier 3 transcends traditional weaving practices. They breathe new life into forgotten techniques, collaborating with an eclectic range of artists—from painters like Alechinsky to sculptors and photographers.
Rejecting rigid, numbered designs, Atelier 3 embraces artistic intuition. By weaving directly from the front of the loom, they intimately engage with the original artwork, beautifully capturing Alechinsky’s vivid colors and expressive shapes in a uniquely woven creation.
This artisanal approach sharply contrasts with mass-produced tapestry methods. At Atelier 3, each thread acts as an expressive brushstroke, thoughtfully placed to translate the artist’s vision into a textile masterpiece. The resulting Spire tapestry is a vibrant reinterpretation, celebrating the enduring magic of artistic collaboration.
