About the Item

Handwoven in natural silk and cotton, this 2x5 contemporary runner tapestry is a poetic example of West African artistry. This piece functions as a sophisticated narrative work that honors classical African applique techniques through a modern, surrealist lens. On the Design: This contemporary African tapestry operates as a high-concept nocturnal portrait, featuring a slender, ethereal figure that appears to be transitioning between the physical and spirit worlds. The theme reveals a striking "Moon Spirit" silhouette, characterized by wild, branching tresses that reach toward a celestial orb. The piece utilizes an intricate appliqué and patchwork technicality, where fragments of hand-painted natural silk are meticulously stitched onto a deep charcoal cotton ground. This creates a captivating quality, as the shimmering silk motifs; adorned with delicate teal leaves and abstract cerulean raindrops – rest atop the matte, structural foundation. The color theory is intentionally restrained yet impactful, pitting the crisp ivory and sky-blue tones of the figure against the vast vocal silence of the black field. Noting the applique work and visible hand-stitching along the perimeter of the patches, it provides a rhythmic, staccato-like outline that anchors the surrealist forms with geometric stability. This unique juxtaposition of traditional fragment-weaving and avant-garde pictorialism makes the textile an enduring relic of mid-century creativity, offering a rare sense of quiet, intellectual elegance as a storied wall hanging or gallery centerpiece. Custom Capable All sizes and colors available—inquire for a quote. Handwoven in natural silk and cotton, this 2x5 contemporary runner tapestry is a poetic example of West African artistry.
