Flowers, 2020 by Hanna-Kaisa Korolainen
"Flowers" rya rug was inspired by Andy Warhol's artwork of the same name (1964). As basis of his silkscreen work, Warhol used Patricia Caulfield's original photographs of hibiscus blossoms (1964). "Flowers" has been hand-tufted in soft mohair, and then brushed open, which creates an effect of an expressionist painting, where colours mix with each other. Rug is warm and furry, almost 3-dimensional, and it could be compared to a soft sculpture or painting.
