ARRAK “MERMAID” (1966) IN BEIGE-BROWN MUFFLER

ARRAK “MERMAID” (1966) IN BEIGE-BROWN is a two-sided wool muffler for the autumn-winter. The muffler’s design is based on artwork of a famous Estonian painter Jüri Arrak – Mermaid (1966).Original painting: oil on canvas. 70×50 cm. Private collection.

Jüri Arrak was then, together with ten other young artists, a member of the ANK64 Association, headed by the artist Tõnis Vint. These young people wanted to fill, on their own initiative, the gap in Soviet-era art education, where there was no teaching of surrealist, abstract and metaphysical art common in western Europe.

“In art, there has to be some kind of mental limit beyond which we fall into chaos, and apparently this limit can be inside the artist, his spiritual inner life simply does not allow him to perform abominations under the name of art, because otherwise it will ruin the culture and break art into flashing fragments. Until now, culture has tried to tame man’s primal instincts. I hope that it will be successful in the future as well, because the viewer expects a message from art and perhaps subconscious guidance towards goodness,” wrote Jüri Arrak.

The muffler helps you to ward off the curse of the cold and humid weather. Woven from the softest blend of virgin wool and cotton. Brushed for the extra softness. Bundle it around your neck or shoulders to feel the wamth of the accessory.

The whole process of production, from the yarn spinning, fabric boiling off or dying, weaving to the stitching of hem, take place in Italy in a small family-owned factory.

Sold as limited collection. Machine woven in Italy.
