Lembo di Tovaglia
About this artwork
In this modern still life, artist Simone Giaiacopi encourages us to discover the beauty of the details of a simple tablecloth. The magnification of a flap clearly highlights the play of its threads and its colors, says Simone. Transforming an everyday object into something precious, almost a jewel. It is magnified to show the individual warp and weft threads. The textile looks lived. It alludes both to the work of those who made it and to the life of those who used it. The painting belongs to Simone's ongoing textile series.
