Pile of pure New Zealand 3ply wool, ca 10% acrylic yarn and artificial silk // Fly by Jan Fabre, created in 2002, is a minimalist tapestry featuring a single, detailed depiction of a fly and its larva set against a soft, muted gray background. This simple composition, with just two central elements, brings focus to the intricate details of the insect’s anatomy and its life cycle. The fly’s wings, legs, and segmented body are rendered with precision, as is the curled form of the larva beside it. Made from pure New Zealand wool blended with acrylic yarn and artificial silk, the tapestry’s refined texture adds depth to the otherwise stark background. Fabre’s work often explores themes of nature, life, and transformation, and in this piece, he draws attention to an often-overlooked subject with elegance and restraint.
