Pit stop, heat & dust

€277.00

Handwoven tapestry by Elvire Debitus, created in the countryside of Brittany. Part of the limited series Right there, Pit stop, heat and dust transposes contemplative memories through abstraction and colour at the meeting point of place, moment, and emotion. Through this approach, it steps away from figurative translation and returns to the origins of the artist’s practice, giving space to subjectivity and colour research.

Elvire Debitus is a French artist based in the countryside of Brittany. Her work explores the links between photography, memory, and quiet observation, translated into handwoven tapestries rooted in the tradition of the Gobelins Manufactory where she trained.

Working with the rare craft of high warp tapestry, she follows a slow and precise process in which each piece is woven entirely by hand with wool yarn on a traditional loom. This ancestral technique gives her work its distinctive texture, depth, and living colours, shaped through the eye, the hand, and the steady rhythm of weaving. Read our interview with her.
