Googled-Art Project: Famous Paintings Get New Threads in Elaine Reichek’s Delectable Digital Embroideries

Images by Louise Bourgeois, René Magritte, Kara Walker, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Indiana, Brice Marden, Elizabeth Murray, Frank Stella, Ellen Gallagher, and Henri Matisse that Elaine Reichek found during Google searches to buy images of famous artworks. Simplified into vector files, reduced to palettes of two to seven colors, and programmed for a digital sewing machine, the Googled art icons resurface in these funny and tender zig-zag-edged swatches.

See the whole set through February 14 at Zach Feuer gallery in Chelsea.

Gary Dickens Conflict and Weapon of War

The Conflict series is a response to the atrocities of ethnic cleansing carried out in Kosovo and Bosnia. In his series of works Weapon of War pictured above, Dickins was inspired by the stark photography of Stanley Greene ‘Open Wound: Chechnya 1994-2003′. Here he uses discarded paper, textile and wound dressing stitched together signify the mending of the bodies and minds of women who had been violated during the war.

Andrea Zittel

‘In 2002 Zittel began hand felting wool directly into the shape of shirts, tunics or dresses. Eash resulting Fiber Form Uniform was made as a single piece with no seams. These garments were produced the auspices of A- Z Advanced Technologies – bringing complexity of form together with pre-industrial know-how. A-Z Advanced Technologies comment on progressive designs that hark back to lost primitive ideals.’

'In the A-Z Single Strand Uniforms (1998-2001) Zittel abandoned pre-woven fibers and created clothing directly from a single strand of yarn, which she crocheted into various forms. She chose crochet because it required the least number of implements possible (a single hook) to make a garment.’

"Using my own hand as a base material, I considered it a canvas upon which I stitched into the top layer of skin using thread to create the appearance of an incredibly work worn hand. By using the technique of embroidery, traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of it’s opposite, I hope to challenge the pre-conceived notion that ‘women’s work’ is light and easy. Aiming to represent the effects of hard work arising from employment in low paid ancillary jobs such as cleaning, caring, and catering, all traditionally considered to be ‘women’s work’"

Lorenzo Nanni 'Simulations'

Lorenzo Nanni is a textile artist living and working in Paris. His handmade fiber sculptures are inspired by organic matter and living forms. He reinterprets images of botany and anatomy through traditional embroidery and haute couture techniques, using natural materials and minerals. His work combines traditional knowledge with high quality contemporary art, design, and a modern, personal universe. Creatures and hybrid plants, skins, organs, landscapes, and symbols are transformed into a visceral and fantastic universe. The sculptures are scientifically pinned in glass displays or suspended under glass globes like the anatomical ecorchés or entomological trophies.

On top of his work as a textile designer, Nanni brings his creations to life through photography, animated films, and cinematographic work. He gladly embarks in joint ventures with other artists to widen his creative universe and confront it to that of others. His latest project “Naiade“, an animated short which he co-directed, has gathered him various awards in festivals around the world.
