Mathieu Matégot “Silence Blanc” Tapestry
Fueled by a lifelong love of design, Hungarian-born artist Mathieu Matégot experimented across various creative disciplines. Though painting initially captured his interest, Matégot found himself drawn to the worlds of shopkeeping, decoration, and even fashion design. The late 1930s marked a turning point, as Matégot discovered a new artistic love: tapestry.
Matégot’s tapestries remain strikingly contemporary, a testament to his visionary approach. Defined by bold, saturated colors that pop against dark backgrounds, his works weave a captivating tapestry (pun intended) of dynamic lines and abstract compositions. The influence of artistic giants like Picasso and Braque is undeniable, yet Matégot’s focus on abstraction aligns him with the rise of Abstract Expressionism. Today, these captivating tapestries continue to grace the walls of prestigious buildings worldwide, a lasting tribute to Matégot’s artistic legacy. Our featured piece, “Silence Blanc” (White Silence), beautifully embodies this legacy. -
