FINAL DAY ✨ Carmen Mardonez | Chromatic Solace

Today is the final day of Chromatic Solace, and we’re taking a moment to look back at some of the many wonderful people who have stepped through the doors since we opened in March.
What a joy this exhibition has been. To see people encounter Carmen’s work for the first time — stopping, looking, talking, touching, smiling — and to welcome collectors, curators, artists, students, friends and so many new faces has been incredibly special.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited, shared the exhibition, joined our events, wrote about the work and supported Carmen and the show. And thank you to our generous hosts at @tmlighting for giving these extraordinary works the space to breathe and bringing the extraordinary colours beautifully to life.

Most of all, congratulations to Carmen. 💗
This exhibition sees the beginning of an exciting new chapter when the large scale title-piece Chromatic Solace travels to its next stop: @phillymagicgardens, where Carmen’s solo exhibition opens in May 2027 — with several other exciting projects underway here in the UK that we hope to share very soon.
For now, thank you for all the colour, warmth and joy, Carmen.

Keep watching. Keep making. ✨

My work featured in 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘹 𝘈𝘳𝘵, a new Thames & Hudson publication by Ramona Barry and Beck Jobson—exploring the powerful role textiles play in shaping contemporary art.

—

Textile art has surged into the spotlight, shedding its long-standing association with domesticity and craft to take centre stage in galleries, biennales and critical discourse. Authors Ramona Barry and Beck Jobson explore this vibrant resurgence, and the way artists across the globe are embracing traditional techniques like weaving, embroidery, quilting and dyeing, while pushing them into bold new territory. Far from decorative or nostalgic, these works speak to urgent contemporary themes: identity, gender, migration and environment.

Textiles have become a site of resistance, storytelling and innovation. This global survey of forty-four artists reveals the shifting boundaries between craft and fine art, and the expressive power of cloth in the hands of today's most boundary-pushing creatives. Textile art isn't just having a moment, it's reshaping the conversation.

“...Arzabe began exclusively making woven works using his own modernist abstract paintings as source materials, a change that added a robust quality both physically and conceptually. Using an industrial fabricator to neatly slice his paintings into regular strips, he pulls one painting under tension onto a wooden stretcher frame that acts as the loom. A second painting is woven through by hand, pick after pick, one strip at a time. Integrating his own imagery as warp and weft provides aesthetic authority, while still leaving room for the process to transform the work in unpredicted ways." - From Beck Jobson’s writing in the new publication, @textilesxart

Miguel Arzabe’s solo exhibition, ‘Sin Contar Cincuenta’ is open Thurs-Sat 1-5pm until March 21. For all inquiries contact info@johanssonprojects.com

‘He reflects on the Bolivian sociologist Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui who wrote about the concept of ch’ixi – an Aymara word referring to the juxtaposition of two contrasting colours – two parallel identities that do not extinguish each other but instead exist side by side in an antagonistic relationship. ‘That resonates both with my sense of who I am and the art I make.’ From Beck Jobson’s writing in the new publication, @textilesxart

From cradle to grave, textiles surround us. As carriers of culture textiles deeply engage our senses and memories across borders and decades, creating literal and metaphoric links between the personal and political and reaching into all spheres of human existence from local neighbourhoods to globalised economies. Increasingly contemporary artists are turning to textiles as both medium and message, demonstrating anew its expressive power as a site for resistance, storytelling, and innovation.

Curated by ATWs own Head of Studio Beck Jobson with collaborator Ramona Barry. This exhibition brings together former ATW Artists in Residence featured in their new book Textiles x Art (Thames & Hudson AU) and presents a diversity of practice from artists exploring the medium of Textiles in unique and compelling ways.

ARTISTS: John Brooks, Troy Emery, Hannah Gartside, Kait James (Wadawurrung), Phong Chi Lai, Misako Nakahira (JPN), Britt Salt, Ema Shin, Jacqueline Stojanović, Louise Meuwissen.
