Unusual Gift Ideas

Hand-made Alpaca wool and cotton weaving.
Maximo Laura 47”x48”

A great holiday gift idea from El Picaflor.          Maximo Laura, a Peruvian weaver, paints without painting, dominating codes that blend into a composition of fibers magically entwined by the incantation of his forms. Laura is what we could call “the weaver of rupture,” seeing beyond the selfsame conception of textiles. His tapestries become pieces of art in the same as paintings. His codes will not repeat themselves; nor will they have geometric order. Instead, they will appeal to the dynamics of their won subjects. Just like a painting. Finally, his own fingers become his brushes, threads and cords his post of colors and his loom his comfortable easel.
