With certificate signed by the artist - Pile of pure New Zealand wool and linen // The Flying by Ilja Kabakov, created in 2006, is a tapestry that vividly depicts a surreal scene of human figures soaring above a landscape of rubble and city structures. Rendered in muted sepia tones, the composition captures a sense of both whimsy and desolation. Figures appear to be reaching out to one another or holding onto makeshift flying contraptions, embodying a sense of escape and longing for transcendence. The tapestry blends realistic details with dreamlike elements, typical of Kabakov’s style, which often explores themes of aspiration, isolation, and the human desire for freedom amidst constraint. The delicate texture and restrained color palette give the piece a nostalgic, contemplative quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersection of reality and imagination.
