Jess De Wahls

Originally from Berlin, London based artist De Wahls has long established her name as the ‘Enfant Terrible Of Textile Art’.

Jess creates highly intricate embroideries as well as hand-sewn relief portraits from up- cycled clothing, a technique for which she has coined the term ‘Retex Sculpture’.

Often couching subjects such as Feminism, Misogyny, Fetishism and Gender Ideology in between delicate pictures of flowers and lush botanics, she skilfully invites her audience on a journey to discover underlying narratives and hidden truths.

Pushing the boundaries on what embroidery as a medium can do within the fine arts, plays a major part in her prolific output.

Her extensive body of work has been exhibited and sold internationally, featured online as well as in print.
