La Tour de Feu

Creator: André Borderie
Offered by: Boccara Gallery

Description
Edition 1/3

Manufactured by Atelier C.Legoueix, France

"A vibrant exploration of elemental force and transformation, “La Tour de Feu” (The Tower of Fire) embodies André Borderie’s visionary spirit in tapestry. Handwoven in the 1970s by the renowned Atelier C. Legoueix, this wool masterpiece radiates a fierce, almost architectural energy, capturing the artist’s sculptural sensibility within the woven form.
At the heart of “La Tour de Feu” is a bold, ascending composition—an abstract beacon of light and resilience—evoking both natural phenomena and inner strength. Borderie’s signature, hand-signed on the bolduc, marks the tapestry’s exceptional provenance and its place within a very limited series.
Material and craftsmanship are inseparable here: the warm, textured wool lends a tactile vibrancy to the geometric design, while the expert weaving breathes life into Borderie’s vision. More than a decorative work, The Tower of Fire stands as a monument to Borderie’s ability to merge modernist abstraction with deep symbolic resonance—a luminous testament to mid-century artistry and the enduring dialogue between man, material, and meaning."
