The Musée de la Toile de Jouy, a journey into the world of cotton printing
The Musée de la Toile de Jouy, dedicated to the emblematic fabric printed with floral motifs and characters, is nestled in the Château de l'Églantine in Jouy-en-Josas (78). In addition to its historic collection, the museum regularly exhibits contemporary artists and organizes creative workshops! [Read more]
Works from the museum's collections and those of the Maison Schumacher (a well-known American decorating brand), interact with those of the American artist and designer. Canvas, objects and embroidered clothing, digital prints or patchworks, a profusion of textiles is woven before the eyes of visitors.
Richard Saja 's specialty? Revisiting the famous printed canvas by integrating surreal and unusual elements, through embroidery or the creation of his own patterns. Thus, imaginary animals, fantastic creatures or fairy tale characters are introduced into the traditional bucolic landscapes of the fabric, creating unique and colorful pieces, which transform the toile de Jouy into a poetic and offbeat world.
"Muses and Monsters" is an opportunity to discover the work of Richard Saja, a magical and playful universe combining the historical heritage of the toile de Jouy with a contemporary and innovative vision.
With this exhibition, rediscover the toile de Jouy from a new angle!
