Edition of 9 pieces (In 3 different colors, 3 piece of each) - Tyvek and polyurethane - Signed on the certificate // Gate of Hell (orange) by Sylvie Fleury is a striking textile artwork created in 2017, limited to an edition of nine pieces across three color variations. This tapestry, made from Tyvek and polyurethane, features a dramatic flame motif in vibrant orange rising against a neutral background. The exaggerated flames evoke imagery of intense heat and danger, symbolizing themes of passion, destruction, or transformation. Fleury’s work often explores the intersections of consumer culture, desire, and aesthetics, and this piece continues that exploration through its bold, industrial materials and vivid design. The artwork’s scale and dynamic visual impact make it both captivating and slightly unsettling, evoking a sense of confrontation with symbolic fire.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
