Seas of Grass: Textiles and Paintings by Michala Gyetvai

Michala Gyetvai is an artist who paints and sculpts with threads, stitching and layering her images in a variety of materials and employing hand and machine techniques.


There is material aspect to the layers Gyetvai builds in her works. She twists fibres and uses thick wool, crocheted cotton, and fine silks to create an undulating relief, moulding the shapes of trees in a sculptural manner.

Her love of landscape, nurtured in childhood is the motivation behind her work and Kenilworth is the location for much of her subject matter. Her works capture the seasons - sunlight, contours and rhythms of the landscape and the colours she uses are as varied as the painter’s palette.
