Adrien Vescovi – Jours de lenteur

The publication Jours de lenteur is a dive into the world of French artist Adrien Vescovi, in his studio in Marseille, where jars of colors are lined up at the foot of the walls; where found sheets are dipped in concoctions of natural colors and dyed in shades of rust, ochre, mint green or faded lemon; where, once the fabrics are dry, the huge pieces are sewn and assembled. Adrien Vescovi's textile compositions are thought and composed like paintings, both monumental and vulnerable, subject to the natural elements and impregnated with the places where they are exposed.

Jours de lenteur describes the artist's work in the studio up to the eponymous exhibition at the Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain.
