…art made with textiles has the most amazing textures
On our recent trip to London, we stopped at the Barbican to see the show, Unravel: The Power of Politics of Textiles in Art. The first thing we saw was the exterior of the gallery cloaked in fabric.
Inside the gallery over 100 artists had works of textile art on display. Many of the pieces were very textural which was quite evident from a distance and others made for wonderful close-up shots of the detail in the pieces.
…Phyllida Barlow’s Eleven Columns
At the end of our son’s trip to Toronto we decided to check out the new Fall show at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art). The one exhibition featured the British artist, Phyllida Barlows who sadly passed away earlier this year. Her installations were created from inexpensive, low grade materials such as cardboard, fabric, plywood, styrofoam and cement. As a result her pieces are very textural and fun to look at.
….a wonderful area of London with a fantastic art gallery
Not only do sculptures have interesting textures but at the show that we attended at the Barbican there were many paintings that also oozed textures on top of the canvas.

…I love texture in art
I am very much drawn to colour when it comes to art but I also love the use of actual textures. It is very hard not to touch art that uses textural materials. At WAAC there is a show on right now, called Collage and there are several pieces with loads of texture. I’m a big fan of Deniz Seker, Janet Potter, Margaret Rodgers and now Catharina Goldnau.
