Weaver extraordinaire Brent Wadden is an artist like no other. Part of a group that is radically exchanging new technology for traditional craft, Wadden makes paintings out of wool and yarn, which weave geometric forms out of graphic lines and harsh edges. Think Abstract Expressionism when trying to get to grips with Wadden's tactile work.
Brent Wadden art & technique
Wadden starts his process stretching fragments of second-hand or pre-used yarns and wool over raw canvas that carefully balance positive and negative space. Rich with textures, these warm materials makes you want to reach out and touch. Part of the fun is also the unpredictability of wool, which feels a bit like Pollock's drips or flicks of paint.
Somewhere between folk art and fine art - we are curious to see these woven works in the flesh at this Pace London exhibition.
