The Chillida Collection by Nanimarquina: Where Art Meets Rugs
Eduardo Chillida: “Art is linked to what is not done, to what you still do not create. It is something that is outside of you, that is ahead and you have to look for it.”
The artistic work of Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) currently represents one of the greatest exponents of the plastic arts of the second half of the 20th century. At TAPPETI.it, we are proud to present the Chillida collection by nanimarquina, a tribute to this legendary artist's profound creativity and vision.
A Journey Through Chillida's Art
The Chillida collection is a testament to Eduardo Chillida's extraordinary journey in the world of art. This collection is based on a chronological selection of his pictorial works, starting from the Human Figure of 1948 and progressing through the Tinta drawing of 1957 and the Collage work of 1966. These pieces reflect the work process that ultimately led to his best-known work, the iconic Wind Comb of San Sebastian.
Eduardo Chillida's work transcends traditional artistic boundaries. It includes a drawing of his famous hands in the Hand of the Nineties and the Gravitation work from 1994, where he ventured into a new form of relief—a sculptural relief made with paper. The Chillida collection brings all these diverse aspects of his work to life through meticulously crafted rugs.
The Wind Comb: A Dream Realized
Eduardo Chillida's connection to his home city, San Sebastián, is beautifully expressed through the Wind Comb. As a child, Chillida often watched the ever-changing sea waves at the end of the bay of La Concha. It seemed like a pipe dream to install a sculpture that would commune with nature on the edge of the city. However, in 1977, this dream was finally realized.
The Wind Comb is one of the sculptures on the long list of public monuments in various cities worldwide. These public projects are directly related to the spaces that surround them, combining architecture with cityscapes and landscapes. Comprising three pieces of steel, the Wind Comb stands as a testament to Chillida's artistry. With expressive gestures, it defies the natural elements—the strong sea winds of the Bay of Biscay, the energy of the waves, and the hardness of the rocks. Chillida conceived of a place where people could walk, play, meditate, or simply contemplate the horizon, the line that separates the earth and sky.
