Artwork Description
Reproduction of Shibori Coral III on Linen by Mary Urban
"Shibori Coral III on Linen" by Mary Urban embodies the seamless blend of natural beauty and textile artistry. This piece can be categorized under contemporary coastal art and botanical abstraction. The artwork draws inspiration from the ancient Japanese craft of Shibori, a dyeing technique traditionally used to create patterns on fabric through folding, twisting, and compressing. Urban employs this technique to interpret the ethereal essence of coral, resulting in a mesmerizing, tactile rendition that evokes feelings of the serene underwater world. The central motif features a branching coral form rendered in varying shades of indigo and navy, delicately imitating the fluid nuances of water-derived pigments. The gradient within the coral’s form captures both the intricate detailing and the organic spontaneity synonymous with Shibori, giving the piece a dynamic, flowing aesthetic. The design is set against a finely woven linen backdrop, its pale, neutral hue providing a stark yet harmonious contrast that enhances the visual impact of the striking blue tones. Intriguingly, the linen texture in the background not only grounds the piece in a tactile reality but also reinforces the textile thematic, creating an unparalleled depth and dimension that appeals to both tactile and visual senses. Mary's expertise in melding these techniques grants the piece an almost ethereal quality, making it a sophisticated and captivating addition to any space seeking to capture the ephemeral beauty of the ocean and textile art.For more art by Mary Urban click here.
