About the Item

Artist: Elie Grekoff Period: 20th century Style: Design 50's and 60's Condition: Perfect condition Material: Wool Width: 242 cm Height: 148 cm Depth: 0.5 cm Marine theme: The central motif of this tapestry is undeniably underwater. It features a multitude of stylized fish, swimming gracefully among seaweed and coral. The bright, contrasting colors give the impression of marine depth and light filtering through the water. Bright, contrasting colors: The bright yellow of the background creates a striking contrast with the deep blues, intense greens and touches of orange of the fish. This color palette gives the work a dynamic energy and a joyful atmosphere. Stylized shapes: The shapes of the fish and plants are simplified and geometric, while maintaining great expressiveness. The lines are clear and energetic, which gives the work a modern and decorative appearance. Complex composition: The different elements of the composition are nested within each other, creating an effect of movement and depth. The fish seem to evolve in a three-dimensional space, while the seaweed creates a kind of natural setting. Some of Elie Grekoff's characteristic stylistic elements found in this tapestry: The use of bright and contrasting colors: Grekoff was a master in the art of combining colors to create harmonious and dynamic compositions. The stylized and geometric shapes: The artist had a predilection for simplified shapes and clean lines, which gives his works a modern and timeless look. The natural themes: Grekoff was often inspired by nature, particularly the marine world, to create his compositions. In short, this tapestry by Elie Grekoff is a celebration of underwater life, an invitation to dive into a colorful and dreamlike universe. The artist offers us a personal and poetic vision of the marine world, through a composition rich in colors and shapes.
