From silicone tubes to paint, paper and threads – throughout her artistic career stretching back over more than 50 years, Monika Fioreschy has been constantly discovering new forms of expression in the tradition of the art of weaving. In addition to her textile “woven pieces”, the publication leads through the artist’s other, often completely heterogeneous work groups and also presents recent upcycled works created from older objects. Fabric, which usually provides the background for paintings, becomes the object of the picture in Monika Fioreschy’s works. Horizontal lines of colour flow through her screened picture spaces, which she always colours and weaves herself. Sometimes these abstractions are broken up by slits or acquire sculptural characteristics because of the silicone tubes, evocatively filled with blood or plant extracts. For her latest works she translates older works with nails and threads to create something new, thereby bringing them into the state of experience of today.
