Japanese Thread Painting with Turquoise, 2025 by Ptolemy Mann. Hand-dyed woven viscose with acrylic, 120 x 100 cm. A unique fusion of textile craft and contemporary abstraction.
This original artwork by British artist Ptolemy Mann combines hand-dyed woven viscose with dynamic acrylic gestures, creating a harmonious balance between structured textile precision and painterly spontaneity. The composition unfolds in two temporal dimensions: on the left, vertical gradients and optical rhythms are formed by fine-dyed threads, evoking stillness and continuity. On the right, confident brushstrokes in red, blue, turquoise and white interrupt the woven surface with energy and depth. These two languages—woven and painted—coexist without conflict, echoing Japanese aesthetics of duality and impermanence.
What makes this piece truly unique is the artist's signature technique of “woven painting", developed over decades. Mann dyes each thread individually before weaving it on a handloom, transforming fiber into a pictorial field. The addition of acrylic paint further enriches the surface, creating a dialogue between materiality and mark-making. The result is not a print or reproduction but a singular object, impossible to replicate.
Measuring 120 x 100 cm and in pristine condition, this piece is professionally stretched and ready to hang. It is ideal for collectors seeking artworks that challenge conventional boundaries between painting and textile. The artwork belongs to Ptolemy Mann's ongoing exploration of color theory, architectural balance and cultural resonance. Collectors will appreciate not only the technical mastery involved but also the meditative presence it brings into any space.

Presentation
Since 1997 Ptolemy Mann has been running her own studio practice, which she established after graduation from Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art. Her unique approach to hand dyeing and weaving wall-based, architectural art works has become the basis for a modern-day Bauhaus philosophy of art making and design underpinned with intelligent colour theory.
Her time consuming and unique approach to creating these art works has evolved over a twenty-year period. Exquisite dynamics of colour move across their fine surface creating a painterly sweep. The term CHROMATIC MINIMALISM has been applied to her work and she is heavily influenced by Abstract Expressionism and architecture.
Mann is also making paintings on paper and canvas, exploring the relationship between paint and textile. Mann makes large scale, emotional work which expresses a deep sense of craftsmanship and precision through an abstract narrative. She has completed many site-specific art installations and has exhibited worldwide. She lectures regularly throughout the UK and abroad; writes for the magazine Selvedge, curates and has received three grants from the Arts Council of England.
Ptolemy Mann lives and works in the UK
