Mariem Besbes, an artist that breathes new life into old weaving skills
What first catches the eye in the creations of Mariem Besbes, is the expressiveness of colours that remind the beauty of wild landscapes, in sand, sky or earth shades.
With undiminished vigour, she gets on with the work at hand to get the best from unknown ancestral techniques. Textile designer with a contemporary dance background, her creations combine weaving, dyeing and embroidery which she transgresses, transforming the original symbolic characteristics of a motif while giving it a second life and a story linked directly to the news. A scarf with stitches shaped sewing and dyed in Rothko’ s style, a blanket woven like a gauze and reworked with fishing line immerse us in an aesthetic that keeps things anchored in reality, combining various materials and temporalities. Mariem Besbes enjoys working matter, playing with codes of weaving, without caring about fashion trends. She acquired a well deserved international recognition thanks to a free spirit that gives her textiles a timeless touch. From the latest Wanted Design in New York to big department stores in Tokyo, from Paris to Cape Town( LIM), the creator invents her own journey. The quality of her handmade textiles is her trademark.
