TEXTILE ART

A.Oei proprietary textile art are conceptualized and rendered through a layered process of sketching, painting and photographing. The artwork is then digitally printed on unbleached silk and cotton. This technique, which uses specialized inkjet printers to directly apply graphics onto fabric, consumes less water and energy than conventional dye baths, and facilitates small-batch textile production.

Mountain Print

In 2016, I took a train ride through the Canadian Rockies. To capture the sense of a constantly moving landscape, the creation of the Mountain Print involved layering and blending photographs of the mountains, as well as infusing dusky, pastel colors for an alpenglow effect.

Landscape Print

The Landscape Print captures a topographic view of the Rocky Mountains. The colors of the photographs are intensified and abstracted to the point at which only shadowed outlines of the mountains remain.

Hybrid Print

Inspired by the concept of cross-pollination, the Hybrid Print presents a fantastical vision of hybrid flowers. To create this pattern, images of different flowers are digitally deconstructed and reassembled into a new species.

Kinetic Print

An interpretation of Alexander Calder's mobiles, the Kinetic Print is an ink painting of dancing figures that captures the lightness and playfulness of the artist's ethos.

Fossil Print

Colored in chalk, yellow-gold and silvery blue, the Fossil Print is a deconstructed pattern of the rock-like skeleton left behind by coral polyps. 

Coral Print

At the maritime trade gallery in Singapore, a collection of 9th century Tang artifacts had been recovered from a shipwreck. Encrusted with corals, the artifacts expressed new textures that inspired this luminous web-like pattern.

Glide Print

On the fourth day of the year, a Cooper's Hawk landed on my balcony. To mark this rare sighting, a symbol of hope, the Glide Print is a sketch of the hawk, illuminated in electric blue and fluorescent green.

Magnolia Print

The Magnolia Print began with an embroidery of the tulip magnolia tree. This pattern is then digitized with a blue-rose tint to create a delicate, translucent and three-dimensional texture.
