« Silk-Horsehair », a sculptural work in a framed format, bridging the realms of art and heritage.

European Heritage Days 2026 | Art Collection II

Here, raw silk and horsehair combine to form a truly distinctive piece, where the delicacy of the former meets the more spirited presence of the latter.

Across the paper, mounted onto wood, silk threads unfurl with exquisite finesse, while horsehair introduces a firmer, more structured line. The eye gradually discovers the fibers, their intersections, their textures, and the nuances created by their juxtaposition; the material itself thus becomes the composition.

Entirely handcrafted, this work belongs to a rare category: one where exceptional craftsmanship meets contemporary art without ever compromising the integrity of the material.

The composition’s extreme minimalism lends it a unique presence. Nothing is added merely to seduce; its beauty stems precisely from this economy of means and the mastery required to achieve such perfect balance.

It is for this reason that “Silk-Horsehair” finds its natural place in our 2026 Heritage Collection. It embodies a level of craftsmanship that does more than simply preserve tradition, it transforms it into a creative work in its own right.

A rare, unique piece, by the artist Patrick SAVIDAN, designed for collectors who appreciate works that demand close attention and stand out for their distinctive technique.
