Richard Mortensen — Saint Mars
Richard Mortensen

Saint Mars

"Saint Mars" is a vibrant Aubusson tapestry by Danish abstract artist Richard Mortensen, rendered in a rich palette of interwoven colours characteristic of his dynamic compositional style. The work reflects Mortensen's mastery of geometric abstraction, translated here into the luxurious medium of traditional French Aubusson weaving, where bold forms and harmonious colour relationships create a striking visual rhythm. The tapestry bridges fine art and decorative craft, demonstrating Mortensen's ability to extend his painted language into the tactile and intricate world of textile art.
