Chillida Mano 1993 Rug By Nanimaquina

"The Chillida Mano 1993 Carpet belongs to the CHILLIDA collection by Nanimarquina. A collection based on a chronological selection of the artist's pictorial works, from the Human Figure of 1948, through the Ink drawing of 1957 and the Collage work of 1966 that reflect the work process prior to his best-known work, the Peine del viento de San Sebastián. The artistic work of Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) currently represents one of the greatest exponents of the plastic arts of the second half of the 20th century. It also includes a drawing of his famous hands: Hand of the nineties and the work of Gravitation from 1994 where he created a new form of relief, a sculptural relief made with paper. All this work has been translated into rugs with the utmost accuracy, all of them handmade and using various techniques and different materials such as wool, silk, mohair, to give textures and show the essence of his work and offer the value that they deserve The Sumak technique is used, a technique where the threads are knotted in the warp, making it appear that the carpet is made of braids. A flat structure with relief is obtained."
