No. 050 Van Dyck Original Framed Artwork

515 x 415 x 25 mm

This artwork is one-of-a-kind, and is composed of an early 19th century copper etching, printed fabric, jacquard ribbon, rope cord, and set within a gilt wood frame with glass and bronze finish metal rings.

Guided by the desire to reconnect with making by hand, Mirko Gentile’s artworks are rooted in classic art and religious iconography, drawing inspiration from his Italian heritage, and the romantic sensibility of British textile traditions.

Through layering fabrics, intricate trimmings, and detailed embellishment, Mirko reinterprets cultural influences into one-of-a-kind pieces rich in texture and story; bridging past and present with a sense of nostalgia and contemporary relevance.
