‘The First Layer’

‘Lab O’ is the atelier where recreations of canvases from paintings of the Great Masters from the XVI and XVII century are woven on hand looms.

Rarely we notice that the ‘First Layer’ is a woven cloth that can have its own texture.

In this exhibition you find recreations of the canvases that El Greco and Diego Velazquez used for their paintings, each with its own texture.

Included are contemporaneous experiences by Marta Pokojowczyk on these canvases:
