Bozena Wojtaszek – Artist style #1

Feasting with Paul Klee – Breakfast

My chosen artist is Paul Klee, Swiss painter, active member of the first half of 20th century art avant-garde. I was familiar with his paintings from my early years but it was more “I know what you mean” than admiration relationship. So it might be a good opportunity to verify it through deeper studies of his paintings and filtering them through my textile visions.

I don’t want to copy or translate his artworks into fabric, that’s why I decided to carry my own food theme as seen through Klee’s glasses. “Breakfast” seems to be the good starting point for this serie.

Technique – commercial fabrics stitched and quilted by machine with small additions of hand applique.

Detail views:

  1. A great approach, I like the way that you are using Klee’s style to fit your subject, your chosen colour palette works really well, a lovely start.

  10. Such fun that we have both chosen the same artist and I see that he was on the short list several of several others. He had a wide-ranging style and the path you have chosen will be fun the see develop. The color palette is spot-on.
