Tessa Perutz’ travels across the US and Europe are frequent and wide ranging, from upstate New York and California, to the Belgian countryside and the French Riviera, and beyond. These outdoor excursions provide her the substructure for her landscapes, all of which are sketched ‘en plein air’ and reworked into canvasses, textiles, furniture, and onto further supports and surfaces.
For her collaboration with Taymour Grahne Projects, Perutz transforms a recent diptych, ‘Path Outside Lavender Fields, Hasselt #1 and #2’, into two limited edition rugs. Inspired by a trip to the lavender fields in the Belgian countryside, pathways in both compositions invite us to revel in the carefully chosen assortment of earthy and lilac tones. This alternative medium presents a new opportunity to experience and interact with Perutz’s emotive landscapes in the domestic sphere.
Fabricated by experts at Christopher Farr, who have been at the spearhead of contemporary rug design for over thirty years, the lively colour palette of Perutz’s large-scale paintings translates fluently into densely textured hand-tufted wool rugs in the same dimensions as the original artworks.
