2. INTRODUCTION:
The final project is primarily a reconstruction of Renoir’s painting of
a bather using textile. It’s more of an experiment to play with light
and to see if textiles alone can create a painting retaining its
essence. I used scrap cloth materials discarded by the tailors and cut
them into small pieces and placed them on a white cloth (base) to
get the effect of his small and irregular brush strokes. It’s A3 size.
During the exhibition it was a work in progress and after working
approximately for five hours a week after the course was over for the
following four weeks, I finally managed to complete it. I used glue to
stick the fabrics together and even layered them to get the depth.
