Abba Fine Art is delighted to introduce “FILATIM,” a group exhibition of contemporary Fiber Art artists to open on September 13 through October 29 2008.

Fiber is a style of art that utilizes materials derived from plants or animals - feathers, hair, wool, cotton and so forth. These elements are referred to as Fibrous, however some artists incorporate in their work non-fibrous components like plastic and wires that can be manipulated like threads. With the use of fiber and found items, and altering their original function, the artists create ravishing patterns and ornate textures through weaving, embroidery and other methods that are remarkable and gratifying to the eye.

With “FILATIM” Abba Fine Art brings a wide selection of contemporary fiber artists to be featured in the exhibition:  PIP BRANT, NATASHA DUWIN, DEBRA HOLT, KERRY PHILLIPS,  JA YOUNG YOON.

For further information about this exhibition or for a private viewing, please contact the gallery at (305) 576-4278 or via email at art@abbafineart.com.   For press inquiries and image requests, please contact ABBA FINE ART.
