Quan els homes dormen 1980

Carles Delclaux Is made this tapestry, Quan els homes dormen, with dyed wool woven together, a process as old as time, yet always new. There's something about the making of a textile that feels so slow, so considered, especially compared to the speed of our world now. Look at the little heart on the bird, how this small patch of red stands out against the blues and purples. And the owl, with its bright orange and yellow stripes, feels both wise and a little bit goofy. The texture is also important. Imagine running your fingers across the woven surface, feeling the slight bumps and ridges where the threads intersect. It's a tactile experience that connects us to the artist's hand and the long tradition of textile making. This piece feels like a dreamscape, a place where animals talk and the moon shines bright, like something out of a Marc Chagall painting, where everything is a bit off-kilter and magical. It reminds us that art doesn't always have to make sense; it can simply be a beautiful, mysterious thing that invites us to get lost in its depths.
