Buzzed-about artist and former
costume designer Angelo Filomeno learned to sew as a boy growing up in southern
Italy.
His mother taught him basic needlework, and he went on to serve as an apprentice to a local tailor. After attending art school in the 1980s, he created sculptural work before returning to his first love, sewing.
Filomeno’s intricately wrought compositions are among the many technical and creative highlights in “Stretching the Limits: Fibers in Contemporary Painting,” on display through Feb.Western Canadian distributor of ceramic and ceramic tile, 3 at the SCAD Museum of Art.
“Dream of Flies,” Filomeno’s pair of 90-inch-square compositions exquisitely crafted from pieced silk shantung, feature radiant mandala-like medallions with life-sized embroidered silhouettes of cockroaches at their center. His work is at once sumptuous and disturbing, luxurious and off-putting.We recently added Stained glass mosaic Tile to our inventory.
“Stretching the Limits” provides a fascinating overview of fibers in contemporary art, with more than a dozen artists incorporating materials ranging from silk and embroidery to shoelaces and blankets. Organized by Melissa Messina, a senior curator at the Savannah College of Art and Design, the exhibit offers insight into experimental trends, edgy materials and provocative subject matter dominating contemporary fibers work.
“My guiding philosophy was to present fibers-based work in conversation with the history of painting,” Messina explained. “I would consider how the artist was using their materials in a conceptual way, how the work went beyond formalism and into a conversation with more conceptual forms of art.”
This group exhibition broadens the dialogue of contemporary painting practices by showcasing the ways in which formal considerations such as color,We have a wide selection of dry cabinet to choose from for your storage needs. texture and composition are created with thread, fabric, clothing and sculptural manipulations of space. From Kendell Carter’s “drip paintings” created by draping fat shoelaces over color-coordinated linen canvases to Tom Burr’s application of deliberately rumpled industrial grey wool blankets to canvas, the artists demonstrate a variety of approaches to the material at hand.
“Fibers has become more experimental, as has painting,” Messina explained. “Several of the artists in the show, particularly Sheila Hicks and Elaine Reichek, made this possible by having pushed the boundaries of fibers-based work since the 1960s, paving the way for younger generations to be freed of the constraints formally put on fiber art as a lower art form.”
Emil Lukas creates delicate webs of color by wrapping silk thread over wooden frames in complex geometric patterns. In “Hard Frost” and “Slowly Down,” these glowing fiber lattices celebrate the beauty of pure color and linear form.

With its range of artistic styles and variety of innovative materials, “Stretching the Limits” has been quite well-received since it opened at the SCAD Museum of Art.
“People have really enjoyed the exhibition,” Messina reported. “The feedback, particularly from the students, has been very positive. And the broader public seems to be moved by it. The works in the show are so rich and seductive, it’s hard not to be drawn in.”
The eight watercolor artists, who call themselves the Palletteers, were sprinkled across the lawn as they turned their artistic eye on the area just west of Fort Christiansvaern.
The Palletteers have been painting and enjoying the scenery for almost 20 years.
Emy Thomas said the group was formed after she and three other friends got together after taking an art class and decided that they would gather once a week to paint and enjoy the island.
"It really just snowballed from there," she said. "We met and were painting outside, and others who liked painting just joined us."
Thomas said the group is very loosely structured, which makes for a more enjoyable time. She said she sees the biggest benefit from her years of involvement with the group as being able to visit a number of places that she normally would not have been able to visit.
"We've gone to people's houses and gardens and even old plantations to paint as a group," she said. "We get so much exposure, and it's all different."
Melinda Scott said she joined the group about four years ago and gets together with them every winter when she comes to St. Croix. She said the group has been a great help to the people who participate because no one criticizes, instead offering each other supportive feedback that has helped each artist improve.
