Pastel drawing "textile" by the artist atelier cléophée, 2023 80 X 60 cm (with frame) pastel on paper signed and dated on the back exhibited during the paris design 2024 in the group show "the collector's house" curated by cadeau design art at espace krajcberg (september 2024) along with 25 brazilian and french artists and designers this pastel drawing by atelier cléophée evokes the artist's imagination in response to the vibrant culture of brazil's nordeste region. Characterized by a blend of african, portuguese, and indigenous influences, this area is renowned for its artisan crafts—lace, basketry, and ceramics—as well as its embroidered fabrics, alongside its natural resources. In this work, both musical and dynamic, the dreamlike quality of the brazilian culture is captured through zigzag and organic patterns inspired by nature, african masks, and dancing figures, conjuring the enchanting rhythm of carnival drums.
