Ville Imperiale de Katsura en Automne

Tapestry, 86 x 86 in.

Bernard Cathelin
Detailed information

Renowned for his expressive paintings, Bernard Cathelin ventures into a new artistic medium: tapestries. His monumental work, “Imperial City of Katsura in Autumn,” a collaboration with Atelier 3, spans a massive 2.2 x 2.2 meter canvas.

While Cathelin is celebrated for his vibrant paintings, this tapestry hints at the potential for his signature style to flourish in textiles. His masterful use of color and light, characteristic of his bold compositions, could translate seamlessly into the world of weaving.

This magnificent piece serves as a testament to both Cathelin’s artistic vision and Atelier 3’s expertise. It invites us to imagine a universe of Cathelin tapestries, each bursting with the same vibrancy and joy as his paintings.
