Description

Jakup Ferri presents paintings, embroideries, and carpets in a monumental display. Ferri’s works are inspired by children’s drawings, folk art, and so-called Outsider Art. The paintings and embroideries are based on the artist’s (slightly) surreal drawings depicting everyday scenes involving animals, children, acrobats, and utopian architecture. The handwoven carpets with geometrical patterns, on the other hand, are based on the artist’s son’s avatar designs from the computer game Animal Crossing. Ferri, who, for his textile works, collaborates with women from Albania, Kosovo, Burkina Faso, and Suriname, considers carpetmaking and embroidering as a technique of coherence and community building.
