The Accidental Expressionist

Martyn Thompson Studio March 10 - April 29, 2016

From Martyn Thompson Studio in New York, “The Accidental Expressionist” is a collection of fabrics and murals that celebrates the creative process and the potential of unseen details. The incidental marks of the artist; paint splatters, stains and specks, are elevated and transformed into woven fabrics that speak to the beauty of unconscious creation. The paint-blotted surfaces left behind from Thompson’s creative endeavors have been collected and photographed; these images have then been woven in 100% cotton on a jacquard loom to form abstract fabrics that are exuberant and expressive of the designer’s hand. The Jacquard fabrics are suitable for upholstery, soft furnishings and wall hangings.
