"The RAIN collection was born of the observation of the vagaries of paint drips on canvas and the fascination they arouse. Liquid matter is transformed into something solid, frozen in a drip. I want to keep this gesture in action, to capture its very essence. The gesture remains present, always alive, even if gravity dictates it. The idea, then, is to transpose this pictorial gesture into the carpet." - Patrick Jouin
Expected materials such as wool and silk have been used, but transformed. It's a kind of transfer, a transition from painting to tapestry. The material will play with matte and gloss, creating reflections. As with a painting, the viewer's gaze and relationship with the canvas become central. The pictorial material changes, in the manner of a Soulages painting.
