Monika Fioreschy

Austrian artist Monika Fioreschy first gained recognition for her large-format wall tapestries woven in the Gobelin style, but it was a fascination with heart surgery that inspired her to work with entirely new material— medical-grade silicone tubing—in her most recent series of work.

For Injection Art, Fioreschy incorporates various thicknesses of tubing into intricate woven works resembling bodies, using disposable syringes to inject the works with fluids like blood, chlorophyll, and plant and fruit juices to give the appearance of life. This fascinating artistic process results in works that are highly structured and unexpectedly colorful, as well as strikingly transformative as the injected liquids dry. Injection Art collects more than fifty of Fioreschy’s works in this unconventional medium, bringing much-deserved attention to this new body of work.

Artista austriaca Monika Fioreschy a castigat pentru prima data recunoasterea pentru tapiseriile sale de perete de format mare tesute in stilul Gobelin, dar a fost o fascinatie pentru operatia cardiaca care a inspirat-o sa lucreze cu un material complet nou - tuburi din silicon de calitate medicala - in cea mai recenta serie de munca. Pentru Injection Art, Fioreschy incorporeaza diferite grosimi de tuburi in lucrari complexe tesute asemanatoare corpurilor, folosind seringi de unica folosinta pentru a injecta lucrarile cu fluide precum sange, clorofila si sucuri de plante si fructe pentru a da aspectul vietii.
