Silk shawl Arrak Seaside Forms (1966)

Miurio’s silk shawl Arrak Seaside Forms (1966) is based on artwork’s fragment of a famous Estonian painter Jüri Arrak – Seaside forms (1966). Original painting: oil on canvas, 80 × 90 cm, private collection. “To be human, art is essential, yet it is rarely explained, and people begin to perceive art as a peculiar pastime for odd individuals. If art disappears, or as some suggest, is already dead, extremes may begin to thrive—either dehumanization or the rise of machine-like humans. Art helps keep humanity on a spiritual path; it supports the preservation of what it means to be human. Our cultural layer is thin, and the removal of boundaries could lead to catastrophe. To prevent this, we need a solid ‘house of art’ on a strong foundation, not a crumbled structure, because art is a crucial component in understanding the world.” – Jüri Arrak.
