A signed original by the celebrated artist Jean-Claude Bissery, circa 1960-1970, this piece represents a masterful marriage of traditional Aubusson weaving techniques and the bold, abstract geometry of the modernist movement.

On the Design:

This square tapestry captures the essence of mid-century abstraction through a sophisticated, pixelated lens. The central field is a mesmerizing grid of azure, sky blue, and indigo squares, interspersed with creamy white accents that create a shimmering, kinetic energy.

This "digital" aesthetic is dramatically framed by a wide border of vertical stripes in varying shades of purple and mauve, punctuated by solid black bands that ground the vibrant interior.

Keen eyes will admire the dual signatures that mark this as a piece of significant provenance. One corner bears the initials "J.F.D.", representing the specific workshop where the piece was meticulously brought to life, while the opposite corner features the artist's full signature, "JC. Bissery".

This piece exemplifies Bissery’s ability to transform traditional handwoven wool into a cutting-edge visual statement, making it a highly collectible work of art for the modern interior. Its unique square format and bold, "cool" palette offer a striking architectural presence that bridges the gap between mid-century heritage and contemporary graphic design.
