Detailed information
Pierre Alechinsky “L’invention de la parenthèse” Tapestry
Step into the realm of contemporary tapestry with Atelier 3’s stunning reinterpretation of Pierre Alechinsky’s dynamic painting, L’invention de la parenthèse.
Founded in 1972 by three passionate collaborators, Atelier 3 is far from a traditional weaving workshop. Reviving forgotten techniques, they collaborate with a wide array of artists — from painters like Alechinsky to sculptors and photographers — to bring fresh perspectives to the art of tapestry.
Unlike workshops that follow rigid, numbered patterns, Atelier 3 embraces artistic intuition. Working directly from the front of the loom, they engage in a creative dialogue with the original artwork, translating Alechinsky’s vivid colors and bold gestures into a one-of-a-kind woven piece.
This artisanal approach stands in sharp contrast to industrial tapestry production. At Atelier 3, each thread is treated like a brushstroke, carefully placed to convey the artist’s vision. The resulting tapestry, L’invention de la parenthèse, is not merely a copy but a vibrant reinvention — a powerful testament to the enduring beauty of artistic collaboration.
