Spiral Black Recycled Bag by Louise Bourgeois 50x42cm

CH992546

Spirals of the spider's web. Spinning and weaving. Inward and outward. Control and chaos and freedom. The spiral can control chaos but it can also unravel. The thoughtfulness and solemnity of black is used in the spiral as symbolic of the cyclical nature of life on the recycled tote bag.

2021 As a young girl, Louise Bourgeois was dyeing cloth, weaving and sewing in her parents' tapestry studio in Paris. Bourgeois loved spiders. She described the spider as an artist, spinning thread and creating magnificent webs. It could also mend things like the restoring of tapestries in her childhood. "The spiral is an attempt at controlling the chaos.

The work and its artist

Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010)

French sculptor and visual artist, naturalized American, she moved to New York in 1938 after marrying an American art historian. She spent most of her artistic life there. Although she does not claim to be from any particular movement, she is close to surrealism, expressionism, as well as feminism. Louise Bourgeois is known for her particularly imposing sculptures, but she also practices painting and engraving. In particular, she questions the themes of family and eroticism. Her most famous works are giant sculptures of spiders, symbolizing the maternal figure.
