Abstract: Textile Abstraction puts special emphasis on the work of artists from Latin America, in part because of the location of the exhibition in Colombia, but more broadly due to the high concentration of artists working with textiles in this part of the world. The featured work ranges from contemporary quilts to innovative combinations of fiber to metal tapestries that are both two-dimensional textiles and three-dimensional sculptures. Many bring together various hybrid forms and shapes; repurposed or deconstructed fabrics; or cloth that has been painted, dyed, or printed. The works of the 27 artists are present in all its forms: the creations range from typical fabrics of Lithuania to some with "ready made" elements; from natural and synthetic colors tapestries to metal designs; from textile drawings to 3D sculptures.
