Tapestry
From the seventies, the passion for the different materials and the various expressive means, led Oswaldo Vigas to get interested for tapestries. For over a decade he worked in various liceros workshops in Portugal, Spain, Mexico and France. Most of his textile work was done in the eighties at the atelier of Saint Cyr, directed by the artist and licero Pierre Daquin and at the atelier of a famous licero from Aubusson: Camille Legoueix. At that time, he used his original gouaches as models in order to create tapestries that are distinguished by his close relationship with his paintings. Vigas said that his tapestries were a continuity of his painting, and indeed, they maintain the strength of the figures, the contrasting color treatment and express the dynamic and rude gesture that we can see in the brush strokes.
