About the Item
Pair, sisal, wool, stilon, 125" x 77", 1989.
This large figurative, abstract tapestry was done by textile artist, Lilla Kulka (b. 1946, Krakow, Poland).
Artist Statement: "I create art that is mobile and site specific, on the intersection between the disciplines of fiber art, painting, and sculpture. Rather than locking myself within the bounds of any one artistic tradition, I have disregarded such artificial barriers to expression. My aim has been to remain true to my creative will, even when the political situation in my country made it difficult for me to present all of my work publicly in the 1970s and early 1980s. The emotional experiences underlying my work are more important forms of inspiration than the formal visual arrangements I create. In the process of weaving, I am often surprised at the direction my work takes. I continually seek new means to convey my inner vision, often juxtaposing materials, such as steel and fiber, with diametrically different connotations. Fiber art is a form of painting and vice versa; my work collages abstract elements with found objects from my personal history, industrial slabs of steel with meticulously handwoven gobelin tapestries. In my earlier work, I created large figurative forms pulsating from within layers of cold horizontal and vertical lines. These juxtapositions of human shadows, outlines, and a linear geometric format are meditations on the great mysteries of life, among them pain, power, love, and faith. The abstract content of my work cannot be easily explained by the titles of each piece. Indeed, I invite each viewer to search for and find an individual meaning in my work."
