Tapestry Colour Studies: Dovecot Studios after Leon Kossoff, Study from ‘Minerva Protects Pax from Mars’ by Rubens, 2021

A monumental piece, this is the first time an artwork by the expressionist painter Leon Kossoff (1926–2019) has been translated into tapestry.

This project was a collaboration with the Leon Kossoff Artistic Estate, Piano Nobile gallery, and Parabola, the visionary developer behind the creation of Edinburgh Park, a new public realm in the west of the city where the tapestry now hangs. This commission represents the importance of tapestry as a public artform in Scotland and is a statement of intent for Edinburgh.
