Adrien Vescovi

Born in Marseille, France, in 1981, where he lives and works.

 

Adrien Vescovi is known for addressing themes such as the free canvas and architectural and natural scale with textile work and from a contemporary standpoint. As if it were paintings, Vescovi gathers various temporalities through sewing. He prepares natural dyes according to various alchemical processes, developing colour palettes which are then assembled in his compositions.

 

Textiles are bathed over and over in the dyes, with the objective of working them down to the fiber. The textiles are dried in the sun and sewn together in compositions that often incorporate moon-like shapes, as a reference to the moon as an ancient tool for measuring time. Vescovi’s works with textiles also speaks of memory and reminisce old walls in which paint reveals layers of time and the memory of a place.

 

Graduated from the École Supérieure d’Art d’Annecy, Vescovi is currently doing a residency at Casa Velázquez in Madrid and in 2024 participated in exhibitions in renowned art institutions in France such as Mo.CO Panacée and Collection Lambert in Avignon, where he inaugurated the new space The Antechamber. He has also participated in exhibitions at the Casino of Luxembourg, where he intervened the historical façade with a monumental textile installation; MAMAC, Nice; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Manifesta 13, Marseille; among many others.

 

Vescovi’s works are included in collections such as the Centre National des Arts Plastiques, Paris; the Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain, Nice; the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nantes; the Frac Provence Alpes Côtes d’Azur; the Fond Communal d’Art Contemporain, Marseille, among others.
