The unicorn has been a symbol in Art History since the early medieval period. It was believed to be a very powerful and fierce mythical creature with the body of a horse, the head of a goat and a long single horn. Although today we interpret depictions of a unicorn as being allegorical, many civilians living in medieval Europe believed they actually existed, superstition and fear like this was not uncommon.
The unicorn features most heavily in Christian art, and was seen to be deeply symbolic, as only a virgin could tame it.
One of the most famous depictions of the unicorn is the unicorn tapestries created in 1495-1505. This remarkable series would have only belonged to an extremely wealthy individual. This is because during this era tapestries were considered to be the highest form of art due to the lavish variety of materials and the skill and time required to create them. It was common practise among upper class society to commission religious art as a repentant display of their faith and morality.

Working with local artisans across Africa and the Middle East in a variety of mediums, French multidisciplinary artist and designer Louis Barthélemy @louisbarthelemy creates contemporary artworks and artefacts based on centuries-old techniques, driven by his commitment to conserving and supporting vernacular handicrafts threatened by globalization. Inspired by the mystical universe of Senegalese wrestling which Barthélemy immersed himself during a trip to #Dakar, his latest series of appliquéd tapestries, “Wrestlers”, evocatively encapsulates the anthropological-informed approach of his practice as well as reflects the diverse influences behind his work. Made with “bazin”, a type of cotton brocade popular in West Africa, the quilt-like tapestries were handcrafted in Cairo in collaboration with Egyptian artisans who practice “khayamiya”, a type of decorative appliqué technique historically used to decorate tents across the Middle East. On view at Théodore Monod Museum of African Art in Dakar until January 20, 2022.

Underpinned by abstract forms and muted, earthy tones, the minimalist-inflected work of Nashville-based artist Rebekka Seale @finea_studio is imbued with a soothing sensibility that unwittingly captivates you. From paper collages and oil paintings, to ceramics and hand-dyed tapestries, the simplicity of Seale artworks belie a tactile beauty and inner harmony.

“Tapestries is an indie assortment of sound and locality, as well as the moniker for Mike DeCosta of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. DeCosta has been writing and performing for several years with a wide instrumental repertoire. He formed My Every Minute in 2006 and since then has created many songs with the help of various contributing artists also from Rhode Island.” —band FB Bio
The band Napoleon has been single-handedly responsible for any familiarity that I have with anything from Rhode Island. The younger half of the Keithline brothers invited me and a few friends to see these guys at Big Snow and I’m glad I was able to drag not only myself but two visitors from Tennessee with me. I really appreciated the standout guitar—it came as a refreshing alternative to the thrash/pure noise-heavy shows I’ve otherwise found myself at recently. As usual, I’m not the best blurb creator so take a listen.
This is the only video I could find so I’m adding a Soundcloud clip to fill it out.
