[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]Most of the best works here (Game Changers: Fiber Art Masters and Innovators Exhibiton) are straight-ahead textiles. Peruvian artist Maximo Laura’s hand-woven tapestry “Warrior of Light in the Blue Night,” majestic in warm jewel tones, depicts an almost monstrous warrior, his giant head studded with game-board patterns and shifting tones. Tufted textures rise off the surface of the piece, imbuing it with three-dimensionality.
