Grace Atkinson Exhibition, London
Spazio Leone is pleased to present ‘all in each’, a solo exhibition by Paris-based New Zealand textile designer and artist Grace Atkinson.
Opening to the public on Friday, 25 April, the exhibition brings together new commissions and existing works in dialogue with historical design pieces from Spazio Leone’s collection, offering a dynamic exchange between contemporary textile artistry and timeless design.
‘all in each’ takes its title from Knots by psychologist R.D. Laing, a poetic examination of human relationships and entanglements. In this exhibition, Atkinson furthers her exploration of the contextual nature of perception, presenting hybrid works that modulate spaces and foster a dialogue between functionality and aesthetics. Handwoven and hand-brushed blankets and rugs feature disrupted, dynamic motifs, while tapestries—built through the repetitive process of enmeshing delicate silk and cotton fibers—become studies in texture. Expanding her investigation into soft furniture, Atkinson debuts a modular chair and footstool set that transforms into a sculptural piece, negotiating the interplay between function and form.
