Janssen during the 1970s. This masterfully executed wall sculpture stands as an exceptional representation of late 20th-century European fiber art, blending abstract expressionism with brutalist textures.The large-scale composition features a beautifully stylized string instrument—evoking the form of a banjo, lute, or acoustic guitar—surrounded by organic, avant-garde shapes. Janssen utilized a highly sophisticated array of hand-craftsmanship techniques, seamlessly combining intricate weaving, structured macramé knotting, relief embroidery, and layered fabric appliqué.The color palette is wonderfully evocative of the period, composed of rich ochre, warm mustard, earth-toned terracotta, and deep olive green. A tactile dimension is achieved through the varied use of heavy wool yarns, natural jute burlap, and hand-turned wooden beads that drape elegantly at the base of the instrument. The artwork retains its original solid wood floating frame and is prominently signed with the artist's hand-woven "GJ" monogram in the lower right corner. This imposing, museum-quality textile sculpture serves as a powerful statement piece for any high-end mid-century modern, brutalist, or contemporary curated space. Pre-owned. See less
