Blue Fin | Original

Arthur Lanyon

Enquire for Price

A rich and complex interpretation of an original painting by St Ives based abstract Artist Arthur Lanyon, Blue Fin has been made in a 200 knot quality, using a total of 39 colours.

Inspired by a childhood painting which was made in response to an encountering a pod of killer whales on the south coast of Cornwall. "They moved so fast, and mainly beneath the surface. I think I saw them but I really can't be sure. The vagueness of that memory though was something my imagination ran with. I recall clearly the simplicity of the painting, I used household paint from big tins, covering vast sheets of beige paper. A hundred images of whales crowded in my head, then the creatures morphed onto the page like a pack of monsters".

Strictly limited to a total of 15 pieces, this exquisite carpet is a true masterpiece of design, the definition of ‘Your Floor Is The Canvas’.

Artist Collaboration

Arthur Lanyon

Arthur Lanyon is a British artist born in Leicester, England in 1985. Receiving his BA in Fine Art from Cardiff School of Art and Design, Lanyon now carries out his practice from his studio based near Penzance, Cornwall. 

Working in collaboration, Knots set out to create two interpretations of Lanyon’s dynamic paintings. The translation of textural brushstrokes and tonal variation within the original artwork required the producers to use a vast array of yarns in order to capture every nuance within Lanyon’s painting. Upon seeing the completed rug, Lanyon stated that he was ‘absolutely blown away [by the rug]... amazing! So much complexity and detail. The quality is astounding.’
