Reshaping Textiles: An Inspiration from Wassily Kandinsky
Abstract
Abstract Views: 55
There will be several elements discussed in this article regarding my design inspiration from a renowned painter Wassily Kandinsky. Wassily was an eminent Russian painter and art theorist who is considered as the father of the abstract art. In this research, I endeavored to introduce alien elements in the domain of textiles by merging abstract concepts of Kandinsky’s painting with my textile products. Keeping in view the modern art, I have created my designs that could reshape the concept of textile décor regarding wall panels, setae and side-panels. In later sections, we will transit towards our design compositions, techniques and other mediums that have been incorporated within. The aim of this report article is concluded by my endeavor to justify as to how I came up with the innovative textiles ideas by extracting an inspiration from Kandinsky’s work which in the end is left up to the critiques and readers to decide as to how much I have succeeded.
