Rugs Double as an Art Medium in TRNK’s New Series<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For its inaugural Artist Rug Series, TRNK<\/a>, the New York studio and curatorial platform headed by Tariq Dixon, tapped creatives from three countries. \u201cI was intrigued by the idea of using rugs as an art medium,\u201d Dixon says. \u201cMuch like wall art, rugs get passed down through generations and maintain a similar permanence, but we typically interact with them very differently.\u201d The individual works were translated into 15 rugs crafted of New Zealand wool or Tencel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish graphic designer Jesus Perea\u2019s material explorations in wood, cardboard, and Indian paper as well as his experiments with digital mediums resulted in the Abstract Composition series. Modernist-inspired graphics adapted from ink drawings\u2014with purposeful wabi-sabi glitches to show the artist\u2019s hand\u2014distinguish the work of Louis Reith of the Netherlands, including Echo All Acoustically Correct and Her Eyes Glaze. Finally, Zackery Abernathy\u2019s Color Field features geometric forms in neutral tones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
