The joys of the evening

 

Aubusson tapestry, woven by the Tabard workshop.
With its selvedge signed by the artist, no. 1.
Circa 1968.

Known for his geometric paintings sometimes made up of mechanical elements, Gachon designed some tapestry cartoons from a very young age, since from the end of the 60s he was in contact with the Tabard workshop.

Our cartoon testifies to the influence of lyrical abstraction on the young artist, an orientation that is ultimately quite underrepresented in tapestry.
