KRJST Studio
KRJST studio is a Belgian artist duo founded in 2012 and composed of Justine de Moriamé, Erika Schillebeeckx.
After completing a master’s degree at La Cambre Mode, the duo worked in the fashion industry for almost 3 years. In 2015, they decided to put creativity and art back at the centre of their practice and immersed themselves once again in the art and design sector. Since then, KRJST Studio has been creating sumptuous, monumental hand-embroidered tapestries where emotion, storytelling and technical expertise are at the heart of the creative process.
KRJST Studio has a triangular structure made up of the two artists and their art. Four hands, two souls and four eyes work together to invoke a collective memory, modify it and pass it on. The weavings are witnesses to their time, survivors of a narrative, oscillating between past and future, embodying our roots, expanding the present.
KRJST uses colour to express what words fail to describe; they paint with weaving threads imaginary landscapes of a poetic realm, calm yet tormented, the chaos where emotions are born.
These weavings are the result of research rooted in our time and constant development around textures, materials, threads, colours, paint, 3D drawing, as well as chemical research into conductivity. By taking the time to create, KRJST is intimately aware of time.
