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 appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
