Participation to the BRAFA Art Fair with the Galerie La Forest Divonne, from January 26 to February 2 2025, Brussels

 

KRJST studio is a Belgian artist duo founded in 2012 and made up of Justine de Moriamé and Erika Schillebeeckx.

In recent years, the Belgian duo KRSJT studio has established itself as one of the most interesting players in the revival of tapestry in contemporary art. Justine de Moriamé and Erika Schillebeeckx have restored this age-old art form to its former glory, turning it into a medium in its own right, somewhere between textile and sculpture, and far beyond the transposition of tapestry cartoons. Each new work is the fruit of months of embroidery, over-embroidery, weaving and unweaving, culminating in a fascinating presence in space. The richness of threads and colors creates a baroque, mysterious and powerful universe, carried by the warmth of textiles.

Trained at the renowned La Cambre school of visual arts, Justine de Moriamé and Erika Schillebeeckx are four hands, two souls and four eyes, working together to invoke, modify and transmit collective memory. Their work has been exhibited in Paris, Zurich, New York, Miami, Mexico and Buenos Aires, and in different art fairs: Art Paris, Basel, PAD…

Galerie La Forest Divonne will unveil the duo’s first monumental tapestry at BRAFA in January 2025. A presentation that will take on its full meaning at a fair where ancient and modern tapestries are also in the spotlight, in Brussels, moreover, the historic home of this great art.
