This scarf is made from 100% natural fine silk, traditionally handcrafted in Soufli Greece.
The design is inspired by Nikos Kessanlis' artwork, Wall, 1961.
In Wall, the painting’s surface emerges as the major field for the realization of the artist’s bodily interventions and spontaneous gestures. The praxis of painting itself —seen as a constellation of haphazard bodily gestures— constitutes the defining feature in Kessanlis’ work. The pasting and scraping of overlapping layers of materials, as well as the use of all kinds of graphismes and engravings, are all instantiations of the artistic subject’s bodily expression. 
The artwork is part of the collection of the National Museum of Contemporary Art.
Handcrafted exclusively for ΕΜΣΤ by Epicloth.
