Just like Gauguin who saw within Oriental rugs a kind of exotic freedom expressed through the use of vibrant colour, Marcel Zelmanovitch assimilates chromatic intensity with the expression of a kind of pure freedom the likes of which can only be rendered in a textile form. This is why his non-conformism in the use of unusual nuances and in the choice of intensities is at the heart of his creative process. These creations pursue a body of work started with the Perroquet rugs in the 90s, but this time around the three pieces presented bring more vivid nuances and greater contrasts: acid green, very bright oranges as well as the pure yellow and red which become the very expression of a lack of restraint and delight.
