Jose Romussi proposes a creative exercise based on experimentation with materials related to textile art. Jose is have been using
techniques such as embroidery, weaving, and patchwork. He describes his abstract woven/embroidered work as paintings.
Through repeated geometric shapes, colored stripes, and their symmetry, my paintings present formal and somewhat conceptual
references to modernist abstraction, while challenging the conventions of weaving. As a self-taught weaver or embroiderer, my process is exploratory, and laborious, and has expanded over the years through trial and error to include complex shapes, and unexpected color combinations, and use the texture of the material to create different compositions.
