blue landscape by Irene Anton

Germany

Germany

An abstract, exiting and alive phantasy landscape, dominated by blue coloured tones, steeped by horizontal and vertical lines, which are keeping the design even-tempered for the eye.
Eine abtrakte, spannende und lebendige Phantasielandschaft, die jedoch - von blauen Tönen dominiert, sowie Horizontalen und Vertikalen durchdrungen, ausgeglichen auf das Auge wirkt.

About Irene Anton

After finishing my degree for fashion and textile design at the university of fine arts (UdK) in Berlin in 1994, the development of slowly transition process started to influence continously my work, going away from design in direction to visual art. A couple of years later, after also having worked in exhibition organisation, I started to study the master course of art in context at the same university with the specialisation in exhibition organisation and community arts - art in public spaces with a final degree. In my recent work I’m working mainly with object and installations and interventions in public spaces, as well as in "white cubes". I’m also working a lot with various textile technics like for example weaving, knitting, knotting, sewing, quilting, applicating or any other mixed technics, used in a contemporary way and esthetic. This for sure, is a heritage of my former designstudies.
Recycling aspects in my work are also important to me. The sources of inspiration for example are: urban and natural (infra)structures, architecture, landscapes, topographies, maps, airial photographs, politics... My artworks can be conceptual, but in other cases also inspired by the character of interesting materials and other influences and be developed as works in progress. This carpet design competition is welcoming me, to go back to my origins of designing. A carpet is no design for masses, it's rather like a textile painting or relief work, becoming part of an interior design.
Nach Beendigung meines Erststudiums für Mode- und Textildesign an der UdK Berlin im Jahr 1994, begann kontinuierlich ein langsamer Transitionsprozess meiner künstlerischen Arbeit vom Design zur bildenden Kunst hin. Einige Jahre später, nachdem ich auch Erfahrungen in der Ausstellungsorganisation gesammelt hatte, begann ich ein Masterstudium an der selben Universität für Art in Context mit der Spezialisierung für Ausstellungswesen und Kunst im öffentlichen Raum. Meine aktuelle künstlerische Arbeit besteht aus Installationen und Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum, sowie im "white cube". In meinen künstlerischen Positionen verwende ich ebenfalls diverse textile Techniken oder solche, die im Kontext zum Textilen stehen, wie z.b. weben, stricken, knoten, quilten, applizieren oder andere Mixtechniken, die in einer zeitgenössischen Weise und Ästhetik eingesetzt werden. Dieses kann als ein gewisses Erbe meines vorausgegangenen Designstudiums betrachtet werden. Recyclingaspekte sind mir in meiner Arbeit wichtig. meine Inspirationsquellen sind z.B. : urbane und natürliche (Infra)strukturen, Architektur, Landschaften, Topografien, karten, Luftaufnahmen, politisches Geschehen... Die Arbeiten können sowohl konzeptionell, als auch vom Charakter der Materialien beeinflusste und entwickelte works in progress sein. Dieser Wettbewerb ist ein willkommener Anlass, um wieder zu meinem Designursprung zurückzukehren. Teppiche sind für mich kein Massenprodukte, sondern eher mit einer Malerei oder einem Relief vergleichbar, welche Teil eines Interior Designs werden.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
