(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery")
Most impressive in this over-150-year-old tribal Gendje weaving is the extraordinary color palette, which creates a striking visual impact through an immersive tropical palette of saturated jewel and pastel hues expressed in pure geometry. The seldom-seen shades and provocative color combinations seen here have the capacity to captivate any devotee of unabashed color palettes, daily for a lifetime of contemplative study. Tantalizing shades of cerise, fuchsia, coral, and vermillion are set ablaze, juxtaposed with azure, cerulean, lapis, brilliant saffron yellow, jade, and emerald green in an extensive exploration of seemingly countless combinations. The field is an entrancing series of delightfully warbled chevron stripes filled with a design inspired by the very traditional meandering-vine-and-flower pattern. In this innovative interpretation, the vine and its leaves form the prominent cruciform motif, linked to secondary hexagonal rosettes. The drawing is dazzling in its clarity, and sophisticated touches of abrash enhance its organic beauty. The movement of the design is continuous and comforting, revealing the intention and mastery of a weaver about 160 years ago who created her design spontaneously and from memory over many months.
Completing the exciting composition, a series of grand Shah Abbas rosettes, expressed with elemental simplicity, are uniquely colored each time in one tantalizing bouquet after another, creating a lively frame for the glorious field of growing flowers.
