Painting with Threads
21 May 2021 — 18 Jul 2021 at Shanghai Museum
· Shanghai
Painting with Threads brings together works that blur the boundary between textile craft and fine art painting. Using thread, yarn, and fabric as their primary tools, the artists in this exhibition transform stitched surfaces into vivid pictorial compositions — inviting visitors to reconsider what painting can be.
From intricate embroidery to large-scale woven canvases, the works on display celebrate the expressive potential of fiber, demonstrating that a needle and thread can be as powerful as any brush.
