69 - Fabrice Ausset

Fabrice Ausset Water Lily Rug Merino wool and silk Year created: 2019 L350 W238 cm In 2019, Fabrice Ausset returned to the theme of the water lily, a botanical motif that painting has long associated with Claude Monet’s ponds at Giverny. The botanical motif, scattered across the entire surface, breaks away from the centered composition of traditional rugs and reads like a fragment of a pond. Silk highlights the contours and reflections, while merino wool provides the density of the pile. This return to the same subject, in the style of a series of paintings, attests to the importance the architect places on textiles in his work.
