About the Item

Painter and sculpture Artist Natalie Krainin creates artworks using the innovative method of Fabric Texture Art. This technique, which resonates deeply with her professional roots, allows her to merge her love for fabric and design in an entirely new context. Each artwork by Natalie Krainin is Unique and Unrepeatable, a testament to her dedication and artistic prowess, showcasing the elegance and versatility of fabric in fine art. Her works stand as unique, unrepeatable creations that invite viewers to explore the depth and complexity of texture and form. With a distinguished background as a designer of wedding and evening dresses, Natalie Krainin has long been recognized for her keen eye for detail and her passion for creativity. However, it was during the global pandemic that she transitioned from fashion to fine art, discovering a profound new medium in Fabric Texture Art. The Fabric Texture Art Technique: Fabric Texture Art is a unique and tactile approach that involves the manipulation of various textiles to create visually compelling compositions. By employing techniques such as folding, pleating, twisting, stitching, and layering, [Artist's Name] transforms fabrics into rich, texture-laden artworks. Each piece begins with the careful impregnation of fabric with a putty mixture to achieve initial stiffness. The fabric is then meticulously folded and sculpted onto a canvas, followed by the application of hardening materials like alabaster, gypsum, or cement. After sanding to achieve the desired smoothness, the artwork is painted in multiple layers and finished with a lacquer polish, resulting in a distinctive and enduring piece. Artistic Philosophy: What Natalie Krainin finds most enthralling about Fabric Texture Art is its element of unpredictability. She starts each piece with a vision, but the fabric’s inherent properties and the fluidity of her techniques ensure that the final outcome is always a delightful surprise. The fabric's twists and turns create dynamic forms and textures that vary with every artwork, giving each creation its own unique narrative and charm. The Allure of Fabric Art: The versatility of fabric art lies in its capacity to utilize a broad spectrum of materials, from natural fibers like cotton, silk, and wool to synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon. This diversity allows for an endless array of textures, colors, and patterns. The tactile nature of fabric art adds a three-dimensional quality, producing dynamic and visually arresting compositions that captivate and intrigue viewers. Creation Process: The creation process is an intricate dance of steps that begins with fabric stiffening, followed by manual sculpting, and the application of multiple hardening layers. Each piece is meticulously sanded, painted in several iterations, and polished with layers of lacquer to achieve a desired finish—be it natural, matte, or glossy. The result is a hardened, textured artwork with unique curves and shapes that extend within or beyond the frame, making every piece a singular masterpiece that cannot be replicated. Customization and Personalization: The artist offers Customized and personalized works. You are welcome to contact us with your special request of color, shape or size for your space or project needs.

"RAKU RED AND WHITE", wheel formed white glaze, copper red, gold leaf, sculpture
By Andrew Cornell Robinson
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"RAKU RED AND WHITE", 2019, in wheel-formed white glaze with copper red blush, sprig, stamp, gold leaf and raku fired with kintsuji gold by artist Andrew Cornell Robinson, is one of a series of sculptural objects that include ceramic, glass and mixed media grottoes and containers. A project exploring the vessel form and notions of gratitude, plenty, poverty in material or humanity. Robinson has led artists to explore tableware as sculptural form – "Changing attitudes and emerging social behaviors in food preparation and the social and cultural rituals of eating have lead to changes in the way tableware is made and used." Andrew Cornell Robinson is an interdisciplinary artist working across media (ceramics, textiles, painting, prints, etc.). His work is influenced by collaborative craft communities, traditions, and the performative qualities of cultural production. The underlying ideas exploring identity, histories, rituals, and power in his work aim to create a space for intimate experiences and open narratives. He studied ceramic sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art and the Maryland Institute College of Art where he received a BFA. He was awarded an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, where he became interested in the intersection of memory, identity, politics, and power. He has been featured in many publications including Sculpture Magazine, Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, Art Info, et al. He has participated in curatorial and research projects and recently was a participating artist in Debtfair a project in the Whitney Biennial. Andrew has also worked on collaborations with designers such as Donna Karan’s Urban Zen project where his work in ceramics led to workshops with artisans in Haiti and the creation of a ceramic studio in Port-au-Prince. He is currently working with The Powerhouse Arts Workshop and their design team from the Pritzker-prize winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in the design and development of a contemporary industrial fabrication center established to serve the working needs of artists in New York City. He is currently a member of the faculty at Parsons School of Design and Greenwich House Pottery in New York City. His work has been presented extensively throughout the world with the Anna Kustera Gallery, David & Schweitzer Contemporary, Christopher Stout...
